| 5 | Grand Mal seizures | Anger issues but it controls me from having grand Mal seizures | I get angry at a drop of a dime | F | 2 years 3000 | 7/13/2021 | 3 | seizures | depression, anxiety, panic attacks, ringing in ears, | 1 seizure since starting keppra XR | M | 18 | 3 months 2000mg 1X day | 2/4/2012 | 2 | Partial onset seizures | When I started it, I felt really sluggish and tired for a few days, but other than that, I didn't notice anything. | I'm pretty sure I might be a statistical outlier, but it has not had any effect whatsoever. My neurologist added Vimpat about a month ago, but I still have not noticed any change. If it wasn't for the side effects of both medications, I could've been taking sugar pills and I wouldn't have been any the wiser. | F | 18 | 7 months 2500 1X day | 1/31/2012 | 5 | JME Juvenile Myoclonic Seizures | Switched from Depakote to Keppra XR and felt a total 180- like a person not sedated on drugs. It was amazing! Instantly too. Since I am not sedated anymore I have had to deal with anxiety that was an underlying problem, but not side effect. But, have had no issues or grand mal seizures since I started the RX, and it is more baby-friendly than Depakote. | I love Keppra XR. | F | 31 | 2 years 500 MG 2X day | 7/24/2011 |
