RE: [epilepsy] New Here and just started on Keppra

 

Lyn, sorry to hear this, you are so close to being SZ free. My little girl
was on Keppra but for only 3 months, due to behavioral issues we took her
off. Many here are on Keppra so stay tuned for their feedback. It seems like
driving brings on your SZ's. May I ask if they occurred in the dark? Like to
see if maybe it was headlights flashing by and or there glare that may be
the trigger. Thanks for sharing and joining us.

Subject: [epilepsy] New Here and just started on Keppra

I am new to the list but not new to seizure meds . I have been on Dilantin
and phenobarbitol since 1971. I had one nocturnal seizure and after many
tests and even brain surgery the cause was unknown. So the years passed and
I was kept on meds. 2 years ago I had some sort of seizure while driving and
yes a crash, minor injuries totaled 2 cars and was then seizure free for
almost 2 years still on dilantin. Now 2 weeks ago the repeat happened and
another car accident. Now the Neuro puts me on Keppro and I am weeding off
dilantin. So now that I can not drive again (and Im sure I migh never want
to again) I feel like a prisioner and I am pretty scared I guess. Most
people say they know how it feels but they really cant. I am sure this group
does. So any info on keppra that might help me would be appreciated. Lyn
