Re: [epilepsy] Re: KEPPRA NIGHTMARE /MSG

 

Is there a list of the secret names of MSG?  My sweet Aeidan is on Keppra (along w/ 16 other meds), and I am so trying to learn more about this stuff!  Do you guys find it overwhelming at times?  Laura

Debbie and Craig, We've also learned that MSG is now sometimes referred to
as "Natural Flavors" also.

Well written Craig.

Am always on the hunt for disguised MSG. In my travels, I have found that
sometimes Talc, which is in Keppra could also be MSG. For me MSG is a major
migraine trigger and I found I had an increase in migraine while on Keppra.
Drug manufacturers are now using MSG disguised as artifical colorings and
sweetners in medications now.

with them as well. I was anxious with Lamictal as I was trying to go off of
that and switched to the keppra. Lamictal was better than keppra as with the
keppra, I had sleeplessness, felt more frustrations, had wierd dreams like I
had when I was on Paxil, and I could not relax much with Keppra. All to say
I believe doctors want us to take more and more meds to correct other side
affects from the other drugs that are giving us the problems to begin with.
Since my surgery in 2001, I am now only taking 75mgs of lamictal. A year
after the surgery I was still taking 200 mgs of lamictal and I felt like
taking something to end it all as short term memory and other things were
more noticeable. Short term memory still affects me at 75mgs as I have been
taking lamictal for over 9 years now. We all need to tell our doctors to try
these medicines on themselves first before they tell us
> to take them. I believed as a kid that some day there would be an answer
somewhere for people like us. Doctors today will never want to see an answer
for us because their commisions from GSK, and other drug companies would be
gone. That sounds good to me and all of you I'm sure. My next doctors visit
is next month. I think all of us should tell our doctors to sign a medical
neurological petition to get more safer drugs for us to take without the
high cost and high chances of side affects that we experiance because our
FDA just approves anything and everything for money $$$$$. M S G is the
classic example of the FDA doing such a thing and causing innocent people to
suffer with seizures in the process. Who could emagine our government doing
that ? I thought we were to have compassionate, loving and caring people in
DC now. Tell me again, Who cares now ?
