[epilepsy] Re: Changing meds

 

Thanks Tammy. My concern is that even though I've been increasing my Keppra weekly, my seizures are getting more frequent than before I started. I've decided to start tonight cutting back 500mg daily and at the same time starting on the progressive dose of Lamictal (sample of a month was given to me). Then if after a couple weeks pass and nothing gets better, I really won't know what to think. I have noticed that once I hit the 2000 mg daily of Keppra that I'm feeling really grouchy and irritated.
