I started back on Keppra today.

Last time I tried it became allergic at 1500MG.

I'm at 500MG right now.

I gave up on Vimpat because itching just got to bad and my neuro wasn't sure allergic because I didn't have a rash.I never break out in a rash I just itch.

My seizures are increasing of course.

Hi Belinda, good luck on the keppra. Hope you don't have alergic reation to it this time.

Kardie,

i appreciate and now my neuro seems to thinks that other things Iwas taking with it might of had something to do with my itching.

If I start back itching at 1500MG I'm going to stop it again.

Belinda

Hello Belinda,

I haven't been on much lateley, we've been harvesting. We're almost done though, am I glad I'm exhausted.

Just wondering how your making out with the keppra? Hope all is well. Take Care!

Kardie,

So far I'm not having any reaction except little itching and I'm allergic to a lot of things.

I'm up to 1000MG of Keppra a day and it makes me sleepy

and tired I'll just have wait till I'm up to the maximum dose than it'll take 3 weeks for side effects go away.

Belinda

Belinda,

That sounds like its going pretty good then. Can you tell yet if its helping at all or will you have to wait till your up to the 1000mg to know. Hope it works for you.

Kardie

Kardie,

I started on 1000MG a day Saturday.

So far I've had there have been no seizures.

Belinda

Belinda,

Thats awesome!

Kardie

Kardie,

My seizures will never stop.

I stopped the Keppra.

I'd gotten up to 1500Mg and the itching started back really bad I'm still allergic to it.

There doesn't seem to b eany hope for me and my seizures.

Belinda

I'm sorry that your still alergic to it but don't give up hope. I've been thinking about you and wandering how you were making out. You have to keep beleiving that one day they will find the right drug to help stop your seizures. I know you have delt with this for many years and you have to be a very stong person to not let it get you down. Hang in there.
