It happened while she was sleeping. I saw her eyes open and fixated upwards, one arm and one leg was jerking and she had drool and a little bit of vomit all along her mouth and the bed. I called 911 and they put in an iv and gave her valium. They stopped the seizure but it lasted 30 minutes. They took her to the ER via ambulance and her life hasn't been the same since. Like your little one, she was put on Keppra (200mg daily).
The other night I woke up and wen to he kitchen, as I was walking back to my bed my left leg started to shake, it then would not hold my weight, I went to the floor and the muscles started going crazy. My leg was moving all over the place. The next morning I went to the doctor. My blood presure was 223/140. The doctor has never seen somehing like this related to high blood presure, but said it may be a warning sign. It has happened a few times since but not as bad as the first time.
I just got back from my dr, they want to wean me from dilantin to Keppra, b/c of "chest pain side effects" and continued problems with balance issues after last sz.
Crabby'ness? oh just great! now i got that to ""look forward to""?
My daughter is now experiencing several side effects to keppra. She is extremely drowsy, very short tempered, depressed, and is reporting to me that her memory is 'foggy'. She's on a very low dose of keppra, only 250 mg at night and 125 mg in the morning. She's been on it a total of 3 weeks now. I've been with her and she seems to be very melancholy and also short fused over the many situations. She weighs 100 pounds and is 20 years old.
They are like a partial complex seizure. I saw a neurologist and was started on Keppra. I was up to 2,500mg a day and they were not stopping. I began to track them carefully and I believe I saw a pattern of only during the 2nd half of my monthly cycle, days 15 - 28 (and usually between 18 and 21) My neurologist decided to put me in the hospital to do a video EEG monitoring and I told him the dates it needed to be. We hit it right and it was determined that my seizures are NES.
I have had RSD in my left leg for three years and I take gabapentin that reduces the pain somewhat. While on gabapentin I have gained at least 20 lbs. Is there another drub I could use to reduce the pain so I can loose this weight? I am miserable being overweight. I causes pain in my ribs and I can't find clothes that fit. I am 5'3" and small boned. Please help.
Then, he had the sharp head pain followed by loss of sensation and movement in his left leg only. MRI, EEG, and nerve conduction were all fine. Yet, it took 1 week for any sensation to return. He still can not feel pain(pin *****) or hot/cold. Just pressure. Movement has come back some what. He is still having to use a walker due to inability to bear all weight on it(it buckles beneath him).
Anyone else on Keppra to prevent myoclonic jerks (JME diagnosed)? I am, and have been on Keppra for almost 5 years. Started at age 23 and I am now 28. At the beginning they made me very sluggish, but after about 2 months I felt wonderful (since it was the first time in my life I wasn't having seizures!!
after about a year the b6 injections were stopped as my b6 levels where back to normal
the vitamin injections had no effect on the muscle pain and pins and needles/numbnes in my hands and forearms . i have had many tests over the years to check my nervous system is ok and everything comes back fine
over the last 4 years i had had a few muscle injures in my arms and wrists which i think are connected to me taking kepra .then 2 months ago i injured my middle finger on my left hand.
After a very frightening last 2 weeks of my boyfriend on Keppra my doctor did say to ween him off which I've done. Today is the first day off it and he still seems to have the dillusional aggressive side effects that I am hopeful after reading your post.....I pray to god that the old person before this drug comes back. How was those last few weeks for your son?
Just recently I had a new diagnosis of Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy and was put on Folic Acid and Keppra. So now I'm taking three medications. I have only had one grand mal seizure, but every day my mind does this thing where it kind of blanks out when I'm talking and I stare for a couple of seconds, that's when I took an EEG and it determined I had JME. But since I have been on Keppra my mind hasn't spaced out, but I have been in a lot of pain.
I haven't been dx with MS, just seizures thus far but have been having increasing buzzing and vibrations in my legs and arms. I'ts gotten so bad I cant sleep at night, tossing and turning. I've also noticed that my legs feel hot, not to touch but seem to feel overheated. Does that make sense to any of you.
I am allergic to the zonegran, blisters in my mouth etc. The others caused severe leg pain, eye pain, anorexia, hairloss, and I suppose i could go on. But you get the picture. Hmmm, might have to find an epilepsy center, and at least have that quality of life discussion with current doc. Last two conversations have been with his physicians assistant, and she is useless to talk to.
TL;DR: I think Keppra makes me dehydrated because alcohol makes me feel super-dehydrated even if I follow the 2:1 water:alcohol ratio, and because I seem to have a hard time staying hydrated in general. But I'm seeing little if any literature to support dehydration as a Keppra side effect. Does anyone else have any ideas?
