Hi Chris @santosha, finally had video visit with neuro and he increased my lacosimide to highest mg to see how that works. My kids were there. My daughter who lives next door cried the entire time as finding me “out of it” from seizure is more than her anxiety can handle. Do I stress about her as she is stressing about me and vicious circle! Dr suggested we might live too close to each other. A lot to think about. Hope all is well with you and again, I always enjoy hearing from you and your thoughtful insight you have for others!
Hi @motobee
I know very well how frustrating this can be,
I have not taken Keppra, but other AEDs and some did not control my seizures, though it has worked for others. This medicine testing is very particular. Some might get good results with one drug, others not.
How long have you be taking Keppra? It takes some time for the medication to make its full effects. Are you having any side-effects on Keppra? Did you already try other medications before Keppra?
Curiosity, do you know your type of epilepsy? Do you have tonic clonic seizures or just focal/partial seizures (the ones you just get absence and does not have convulsions)?
Take care,
Chris (@santosha)
