Re: [epilepsy] Results of my 72 hr EEG

Donna,

A couple of years ago, my neurologist wanted to increase the regular Keppra
to 2,500 and I wouldn't do it. 2,000 was too much it seemed like to me. I am
on the Keppra XR now and I told my neurologist that it seemed to be making
me moregrouchy, my boyfriend said to the doctor. He lowered the Keppra XR
and added Vimpat to it. It is doing better with that at a lower dose and
dropped the Neurontin. I know everybody can tolerate different amounts, but
it seems to work better for me at a smaller dose. Do what you think is
best.Take care,

Tammy
