If you have seizures, what kind do you have, and what do you take for them?
I have complex partial seizures. I am going on Keppra right now and am working up to 1500 mg b.i.d.

They have almost destroyed his life. He cannot keep a job, as when he has a seizure, they fire him.
HE panics and has anxiety attacks worry about seizures.
I feel for anyone having these things |

Reps: 29,526 (power: 38) | | | I have focal seizures, affecting only my left arm~ I take Keppra to control them, but if I sleep too much, it doesn't work. Mine are caused from strokes, part of the brain damage.

Reps: 20,692 (power: 33) | | | Mine affect my left arm only as well due to previous surgery to try and remove the problem area. In my case the right temporal lobe.

Reps: 218,598,543,588,911 (power: 218,598,543,597) | | | I have seizures as well. I am on Lamictal (450mg) and Keppra (2500) twice daily. 2500 per dose is pretty much max for any human, and most people could probably handle another 150mg of Lamictal.
I had grand mals when younger. After surgery, I was put on Tegretal for a couple of years. I was weaned off of Tegretal, then about a decade after that, I had a couple grand mals, just out of the blue, so I was put back on these 2 medicines. I no longer have all out seizures, but I do have partial seizures that do not necessarily interferre with daily operations. | | |
