Panicking before a seizure and what to do?

Hi. Yes, I’m on Keppra 2,500mg a day. They’ve been all over the place, last year I was getting double seizures and upted my dosage by 500. Yes I’ve had EEG’s done. It’s more the anxiety and fear that I can’t have a normal day to day life without worrying.

I understand the anxiety about having another seizure. For me, ultimately the only thing which helped was good seizure control. But ongoing fear is what keeps me from enjoying that cup of coffee, even now because caffeine is a seizure trigger for me.

I think that some anti-anxiety meds can actually lower your seizure threshold. And maybe you have already thought of this. But I would suggest that an epilepsy specialist, not a general neurologist, be consulted.
