Have you taken levetiracetam (Keppra)?

Thank you for the advice I will ask my neurologist when I see here next month

@cuda
Those mood side effects are awful. I know many people who have stopped it because of that. I know it’s difficult to change meds if one works but there are others that may also be just as effective without the mood problems.

Hi David,
Missed hearing from you. Very sorry to hear about your Mother. Had hoped things would be better by now, guess you hoped that too. Do you still have a roommate? Have you been able to see an Epileptologist? You mention Anxiety, it's important to control that. Anxiety is a seizure trigger.
Good hearing from you,
Jake

Still have roommate. Don't and want to depend on him paying his rent. I'm still seeing my neurologist. Applying for jobs left and right. No luck. Went 8 or 9 months without a problem, longest I've gone for years then brokethrew with one at pharmacy. Another concussion. Still perusing disability. Yes stress is a big problem. The wait and see game gets very old. See what happens tomarrow, yuk. Using stress relief tools a lot. Briviact seemed to help get me that time without a problem. One day at a time. And it's very hard to make new friends, kind that you can talk too and will actually listen. Shaking in my boots on the few apps I've put in that went to interview. Need normal?

Keppra has changed my life, I am 53 and it helps me with my memory,but I still think I am having focal seizures, I have a eeg(30mins) in a few days . I have been on it for 1yr

Hi there,
That’s interesting about your memory. In people with Epilepsy, especially on Anti-seizure meds memory problems are very common. May I ask what symptoms your having that make you believe your having Focals? Do you think your experiencing Focal Aware or Impaired seizures? How long have you been having these seizures? Do you know where your seizures begin (Seizure Focus?) If not, hopefully the EEG will pinpoint the area causing your problems. Hopefully you will have some seizure activity during your test.
Have you had any mood issues since starting Keppra?
I hope you will update us on your EEG results.
Take care,
Jake

My seizures are in the t3 area of the brain,My doctor says it is Temporal Lobe Seizures ,the dementia was so bad at first they thought I had Alzheimer’s disease,Keppra has help,mood issues,yes!

@shakyone7
