Common Questions and Answers about Keppra xr 500mg
keppra
After a week, it had reduced the amount of seizures I had (I have them everyday, probably about 50 a day), but had not stopped the seizures (probably reducing the amount I had by one-third). I called the doctor and was put on 500mg of Keppra once a day, 90 minutes before laying down to go to bed. I have been on this new dose of 500mg for 2 days now, and my seizures have become a little bit better (probably about 10 percent better than what they were on 250mg) so far.
Two months ago I experienced a set of unexpected grand mal seizures that put me in the hospital for a few days. I was placed on 2 500mg pills of Keppra a day and my CT scan, MRi and EEG have all come back normal and mostly unremarkable. (Doctors tell me that there is damage to the short term memory portion of my brain on the left side, about where they think the seizures originated from.
I am also currently in the same page. Taking keppra xr 3,000mg which helped but has not fully controlled my partial siezures so recently I just got added to vimpat as well. And want to get pregnant. Also on giving your child epilepsy I've been informed that it is not inherited. Hope to hear more about your story.
Hai I am Ananthi. Now i am use these tablets Keppra 500mg , cobasoft od & Eptoin 100mg. Please inform to me any side effect for these tablets.
I had a seizure in my sleep Thursday night. I was perscribed 500mg Keppra twice daily.
I took my first pill at 1:30 and felt high all night. I finally went to bed at 8pm without taking another and slept until 9:30am!!! I have a 2 year old. I have no idea how long she was awake and waiting for me.
I am afraid to take another dose. I can't sleep like that. Is this a side effect of the medicine? Or still fatigue from actually having a seizure?
I was 18 when my seizures started . I had never been sick or had any health problems before I got pregnant . I was 5 months pregnant when they started and now at 22 the only thn they have found is an arachnoid cyst on the right side with a CT but now 30 test later they can't find it anymore . Every EEG that I have had i never have a seizure on them . I recently got a letter saying that there was more slowing on my right temporal lobe and i needed to be treated for depression .
I really feel for you, as it's so frustrating, all these meds. I am 49yrs old & weigh 160lbs. I take Keppra, 500mg every morning & then again 500mg every pm too. I started this three months ago. I also take Zoloft too, 50mg at night. I started both of these at the same time & have had no problems at all.
My son was dx with Seizures in October they started him on Keppra 3 tablets 750mg XR at 7pm. My son was the most cheerful lovable respectful great student, all around the best child you would want to be around. My son has turned into a ranging machine, he went from straight A's in school to failing, he has zero interest in getting out of bed, showering, eating all of the above.
My father suffered a fall and had a closed head injury. He had two small bleeds in his brain which luckily didn't need surgical intervention. He was placed on Keppra 500mg orally twice a day for seizure precautions due to the fall. He has been on the medication for approximately three weeks. He is tired, blah, and feels short of breath. I know it will take time to heal but do you know how long he should have to be on the medication and/or how long he will feel this way?
04/12 changed him to Dilatan and keppra more seizures. 05/12 put back on keppra only 3,500 mg. 06/12 seizures moved to keppra 4,000 mg a day! He has had only 1 seizures since been on 4,000, but this is a very high dosage. He is going to see an seizures specialist. Hoping he can get this dosage down.
What have you heard from patients on keppra for their epilepsy? My daughter is very tired, and has just begun keppra 7 days ago. She takes it only at night because of her extreme tiredness when she began it in the morning initially, and will be eased on to a second does in the morning next week. She's on only 250 mg once nightly now. Next week we're adding 125 mg to the morning and increasing that to a 250 mg morning dose the following week. Here are my questions: 1.
Hi, I've been taking 500mg of Keprra morning & night for the last 18 months to control siezures, that only seemed to happen at the point of falling asleep.
However, this week I've had a bad urine infection and was admitted in to hospital for 24hrs to be put on an intravenous drip of antibiotics and now I'm back home I've got another 5 days of tablets to take.
t figure out why and either can any doctors. They prescribes me Keppra 500mg 4 times a day but does not help. Someone has mentioned that it could be caused by stress or severe anxiety. I want to know if that could be the cause. I have them in my sleep sometime so I am not sure. Please help me. I am so scared to be alone. I don't want this to kill me.
put on Keppra- felt awful for 2 weeks, then started taking the fioricet again. I am still on the Keppra as well as Wellbutrin XR. If you can find the time, I would greatly appreciate some insight to rest my mind before my appointments! I will keep checking back hoping for a response. Thank you for your time.
The only times the seizures would happen was when I woke up suddenly, in the morning. The medication I was given is levitiractam (keppra) 500mg twice a day, which i have been taking for about two years, My questions are:
how does keppra help against seizures?
What does it mean to suddenly be diagnosed with seizures?(even though the MRI and EGG and other tests show normal)
Sometimes when i am walking to school i feel dizzy even though i take my medication. Why is that?
