keppra xr side effects in adults

Hello there, A complete history about his seizures and medical examination are very important in determining the accurate cause of your son’s problems. The common side effects of Keppra XR are sleepiness, dizziness, weakness etc.Very rarely few people may experience aggression, agitation, anxiety on this drug. There may be problems with muscle coordination while on this drug. Your son seems to be in a very difficult situation. I will advise you to consult his neurologist.

Awful stomach pains. Now she is on Keppra XR and still on Trileptal as well. Working through side effects.

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.

Are the possible psychological side effects of Keppra (psychosis is worst case senario) totally reversible if the drug is stopped?? Any insight would be appreciated!

I am a 30-year-old healthy female that started taking effexor xr in January. The dosage was raised to 150mg 2 months ago. I really haven't had any side affects. I went off birth control about a month ago, after taking it for 12 years and now I feel like my body is going crazy. I am having fluid seeping from one breast, head-aches that linger all day, I am exhausted even though I get plenty of sleep, I feel nauseous and dizzy often, and I am very emotional.

My sister and I started a blog on Adderall to learn more about the medication along with alternative and complementary ADHD treatment options. Any feedback from users of Adderall or Adderall XR would be greatly appreciated. Topics to be added this week on http://Adderall.org How is Adderall XR different from Adderall?

Many doctors have different ideas on what my problem is i gotten to the point i only use medicine that i think works because of side effects. iv been on Valium forever it stops my paranoia some of my anxiety and insomnia and vertigo too much benzo has paradoxical effect. I just started Adderall 20mds XR First day was bad i figured cause my anxiety.

problems, other than the normal irritability issues, what have you noticed in way of side effects of being on this drug for so long? I also noticed weight gain, even though I exercise daily..

I was wondering if anyone is using keppra and the side effects, or any knowledge of keppra would be usefull, as my doctor is adding keppra to my epilm medication. Thanks for all your help....

I HAVE EPILEPSY AND I'M CURRENTLY TAKING KEPPRA TO CONTROL THE SEIZURES AND IT HAS BEEN TO THIS POINT. I'VE BEEN ON KEPPRA FOR OVER 10 YEARS BUT NOW I AM STARTING TO FEEL DEPRESSION SET IN. I REALIZE THAT THIS IS ONE OF THE SIDE EFFECTS AND I DON'T WANT GET OFF OF THE MEDICATION BECAUSE IT HAS WORKED SO WELL. IS THERE A VITAMIN THAT I COULD TAKE TO HELP CONTROL THE DEPRESSION? IF SO, WHAT VIAMIN?

My son is 19 years old and has Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome, he's on Keppra XR, Clonazepam, and Banzel. There's a chance lamital will be added. Is this too many meds. I have heard 2 or 3 meds at one time, no more. What affect does the drugs have on LGS?

I was prescribed Keppra for my chronic headaches. I also suffer from generalized anxiety disorder and depression, secondarily. While taking Keppra, my mood was very erratic, irritable, depressed (very), and a lot of other unpleasant psychological side effects. I'm wondering how often this happens with Keppra. I have since stopped taking it. Thank you.

dizziness, nausea, headaches and drowsiness. i never got over the headaches and drowsiness but the others went away when my body got used to it.

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.

However, long-term use, which is 4 weeks or more in adolescents and adults, has not been systematically evaluated in controlled trials. So, it is usually used for short term. Discuss these options with your consulting doctor. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.

side effects of Keppra seem to contradict what our goals for mom are....memory loss, mood changes, mental changes and vision changes among others. Is Keppra safe to use for this (it is not being used with any other seizure medication....just by itself)? We want to wean her off, but the doctor is wanting to keep her on it.

its been 8 months since my mothers TBI- she had a seizure yesterday-she has been off keppra for 1 1/2 months-the side effects of keppra are aweful-they ask her questions and wonder why she is out of it and doesn't know her last name-(after they gave her keppra in the hospital) what can she take that is less evasive to her health and recovery??

Rining in ears, dry mouth, depression, and many other not good side effects. Did you notice and change in time (that you took keppra) with the side effects. Did it get better or worse? They want to add lamitcal to the keppra and I am thinking I should just ride the keppra out and see if I can get use to the sides I am experiencing now. Anybody with any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

She is in treatment for almost 2 years now. But not much improvement. Earlier she was on Keppra 500 and now she is in Oxetol150 and for the last 2 months Oxetol 300 twice in a day. She is having headache every day and always sleepy. She got a rash on neck also after some 10 days taking Oxetol (not sure is it due to Oxetol). So may I know Oxetol 300 is a good and recommended medicine to treat partial-seizure and these side affects are common. She is getting fear like symptoms sometimes.

It hurts sometimes to touch, grab, interact with things. I have no other side effects besides this strange one. Seeing if anyone has experienced this and how they may have dealt with it. Medication works great, but sometimes this side effect can be too much. Maybe just a supplement I need to take?

1000mlg's of Keppra a day is actually not very much, but in your case the side effects are putting you down. Adderall can help with you being tired all the time, but it also has side effects that can be troubling. It can be habit forming and lead to dependence, also in some cases cause seizures. I personally would ask your doctor if you could be put on different type of seizure med that will not make you as tired, but that is just my two cents.

I went to a neurosurgeon who does NOT believe the cluster of cysts is causing the seizures and recommended leaving them alone. The 3000mg of Keppra was causing serve side effects including head pressure and extreme gait, so we went back down to 2000mg/day and after a while it released the head pressure and I haven't had a seizure now for 8 days and feel much better "seizure wise".

Welcome...so sorry to hear about your son. First of all.....please do not hesitate to call a suicide prevention hotline for resources, or even take your son to the ER if you feel he is in danger. I know it's scary, but do not underestimate his threats. Treating anxiety and depression in children and teens is VERY tricky, for this exact reason. The very meds that may help a lot of adults have pretty AWFUL effects on the growing, developing person.

i started on dilanton and now have been on keppra since about august 2007. i have had problem with acne in high school but i can tell that the meds are causing the bad acne. i have been dealingwith this for over a year now and am fed up with it.

He has been on Keppra for about 2 years now. He's tolerating it well with no problems. I'm not sure for how long since he has other medical issues and this is just for maintenance to prevent seizures.

My 10 year old daughter has been on Keppra since she was 6. We honestly have been very lucky. She has been seizure free and have not noticed some of the symptoms that are being described with being on the Keppra. She does well in school. We are having a hard time deciding if when she makes a mistake on a test whether it is a honest 10 year old mistake or if it is caused by the keppra. She had a prolonged partial seizure when she was 6 but has been seizure free since being on the keppra.
