Hello I’ve had epilepsy for about ten years now.
I’m reducing one med keppra it’s horrible. I was a different person while on it. Depressed, and the list goes on. But has anyone experienced brain bursts while having epilepsy?
My neurologist said it was normal these don’t happen frequently but occasionally.
Thanks
Kelly

Hi @kel1
Can you give more details what you feel when you have experienced brain bursts?
I have heard that coming off medications has its challenges and needs to be done smoothly.
I have experienced it myself when coming off Vimpat and migrating to CBD. My doctor did this transition very smoothly, taking several months, so as to reduce the effects of this change of medication. I am happy I did it!!!
