I stopped taking it and started useing this and everything has been great.

I take 3000 mg keppra 2x daily as well as 200 mg lamictol 2x daily. This combination controls my convulsive seizure activity but not my sps activity. I still have deja vu, memory, and vision issues. Unfortunately, the convulsive seizure activity is controlled so well that I mentally don't take my meds because I am "cured". I then will have a grand maul seizure after missing a cou ...

Unfortunately, the convulsive seizure activity is controlled so well that I mentally don't take my meds because I am "cured". I then will have a grand maul seizure after missing a couple days of meds. This med combination has worked very well for me and once I convince myself I will never be "cured" of my epileptic activity I should be limited to mental attributes as opposed to physical attributes.

I started taking keppra and had to switch to xr still having some breakthru once every few months going to be adding lamictal xr after reading the reviews a little scared to add that drug does not seem to help with control. will be slowly increasing the dose hoping that the side effects are small. I take 3000mg of xr and will be taking 200 mg of the lamictal xr. Does anyone else take this combo and give me feedback on this. They have never been able to find a reason for me having seizures to begin with. just something that started in 2008. I do notice the side effects with keppra emotional more then anything. any info would help me out. THANKS!

This medication made my daughter extremely emotional, she was very moody and difficult to communicate with. Just as soon as I took her off of the medicine her whole attitude changed and I got my happy child back. Definitely DO NOT recomend this, if using watch closley for emotional changes.

I am very satisfied with this medication as it has not only stopped my seizure activity but also has acted as an anti-anxiety medication as I no longer have to take Zoloft for generalized anxiety. The only complaint I have is that now ... Show Full Comment

I am very satisfied with this medication as it has not only stopped my seizure activity but also has acted as an anti-anxiety medication as I no longer have to take Zoloft for generalized anxiety. The only complaint I have is that now I have strange dreams that are quite vivid. They are not frightening, just strange.
