Hi @baabaa @motobee
Good Morning!
Is @motobee the same person as @baa? I got confused! Perhaps I need more coffee, just got up 🙂
Since my last reply to you last year, some things have changed. I have had two tonic-clonic seizures at the end of December (too much stress with the health of both my parents) and ended up at the hospital because of status epilepticus. I have been put on Keppra, starting with 500 mg twice a day and having many side-effects. But my doctor has been doing a great fine-tuning process and today I am on 150 mg twice a day and no seizures, Thank God!!!
I tell you I was so afraid to be taking this AED based on many comments I have heard about Keppra. But with my current dosage, it has been the AED I have tried that has harmed me the least. Perhaps because my current doctor is doing this fine-tuning process that other doctors did not do. He says that every person is unique, and what is the ideal dosage for one might not be for others. He has been respecting my sensitivity to medications greatly.
What has been your current Lamictal dosage and what was the last dosage of Keppra you took?
Wishing you a lovely weekend!
