Hi
I am a bystander am on the same drugs as you Adrien
I have temporal lobe epilepsy as a result of an infection caught in
France 45 years or so ago. It is the sort of epilepsy where I get no
cues - it's not set off by bright lights, computer screens etc etc
I am on Tegretol 200mg a day & Keppra 1000mg a day - both now generic
replacements which have not affected me at all.
I have been through a range of anti epileptic drugs over the last 45
years or so, Tegretol more or less stopped the night time seizures but
for me Keppra has been magic. Like Tegretol it doesn't do much for my
memory but from the day I started Keppra 12 years or so ago I haven't
had a seizure strong enough to render me unconscious just 'deja vues'
and even those apart from once in a blue moon aren't bad enough for
anyone to notice. It's supposed to make you sleepy but for me it makes
it difficult to sleep, and it does sometimes make my emotions too near
the surface, also in the morning for the 1st few seconds or so after
getting out of bed I am a little unsteady on my feet.
When I started taking Keppra it took a bit of time for my head to get
used to it, I felt as if I was high on something, Dizzy and really
unsteady on my feet. I started on 250mg a day and worked it up to
1000mg. It's not a very high dose but it did the job for me
