Hi
What ever you do don't go to Sabril as most people have the side affect of double vision and some people get moemory loss and I lost my memory on it and demanded to be taken off it after 5 months as I couldn't function. Apparently they were going to give it to drug addicts and I said to my husband it was probably so they would forget to have their next hit
I've been on Keppra for 23 years and feel great the only thing is that it interferes with your potassium levels so my doctor put me on a potassium suppliment and I feell brilliant!
Hi @dawnfensterbusch
You have shared with us that you have been trying to eliminate gluten, fats, sugars from your diet. Would you mind sharing the results of this diet with us. I would be very interested in knowing! Did you do that in steps?
In 2021 for one month, I have taken gluten out of my diet for one month, reducing much my seizures. So, in 2022 I started a 100% gluten-free diet, reducing my seizures from 12/13 focal seizures a month to 2/3 seizures a month. Taking gluten out of my diet was much easier than I expected. Some 6 months later after being on a gluten-free diet, I have tried to be lactose-free for one month. No changes. As lactose was harder to take out of my diet, I reincluded it in my diet.
Thank you!
