LEVETIRACETAM vs OXCARBAZEPINE

Hi all, I’m a patient at one of the top migraine centers in the country (Diamond Headache Clinic in Chicago). They do a lot of off-label/ non-conventional treatments, so I feel like I have a pretty good list of known treatments. Feel free to add to it in the comments. Hope this helps someone!! THIS

I finally broke down and got these TimerCap caps from Amazon. I am really good about taking my meds usually, but I have been really sick this week and actually double dosed on accident. I can't stand those pill organizers, so I'm going to give these a shot. I attached photos so you can see that the

I hope the streak continues. I was diagnosed 3 years ago with Left TLE. I was having 2 grand Mal a month at the beginning and while they tweaked my meds it started varying.

(18F) I’m just wondering if anyone has any experiences similar to what I’m going through. I have complex partial seizures. The cause of these seizures is heterotopia in my brain. I have been taking keppra/levetiracetam for around 6 months now. It isn’t perfect but has made massive improvements. I’m

I take 1000 mg of Keppra/Levetiracetam and 400 Lamictal/Lamotrigine. And I am so fucking tired all the time. There isn't a moment of my day that I couldn't lay down and just, fall asleep. My memory is bad enough that I'll forget what I was gonna say in the middle of saying it, or forget what someone

Hey all, I’ve been on this sub for a while now and I’ve noticed that almost every mention of Keppra is a negative one. However, my experience with the drug has been very good and I’d like to share it. I was diagnosed with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy fifteen years ago. For the first few years I was o

All I see, are horrible stories about Keppra — I’m not sure if I’ve seen or heard from anyone with a positive experience. Is there any body out there that likes it?!? Tell me about it, please?

Hello. I just wanted to share my experience with overcoming grand mal seizures. As soon as I graduated from High School, I started having seizures when I was 19 years old.
