Can you describe some more details regarding the seizure activity to know better? Sleep deprivation can be one of the triggers for seizure activity. It need not always happen at night.

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? I'm not sure how much activity to encourage. If you have any information or advice to ask the neurologist, I would greatly appreciate it!!

I was sent home, then had another one a month later, then they put me on anti-seizure medication. I have asked the neurologists, doctors, nurses if there is ANY correlation between the seizures and low thyroid reading and apparantly there is not.. I find this somewhat bizzare as it wasnt until i had had the seizure, my thyroid was low functioning?
I hate when Dr's an nurses tell you not to freak out because that just makes me freak out! Ugh I just wanna go home...
I received a lot of questions regarding seizures during opiate withdrawal, I also endured a lot of criticism about it being true so i figured id post my experience in detail. I figured some might be curious or doubtful and might find insight in my experiences.

I do not believe there were any recommended respiratory precautions for the room and nurses were not using any kind of respiratory protection. Do you believe that a nose culture is still required?
Thanks again.
If it is confirmed that your events are due to seizures, you would need to be started on seizure medications (anti-epileptic drugs). It is important to assume seizure precautions as well, such as not driving or being in situations in which you could injure yourself or others if you had a seizure, such as standing on a height or swimming unsupervised.
Thank you for using the forum, I hope you find this information useful, good luck.
The health care nurses in Texas may not have consistently used proper protocol when treating the ebola patient.
When he went to the kitchen for juice, he let out a scream and collapsed and began to have a seizure. The paramedics came and we got his blood sugar up with orange juice mixed with sugar and an IV, he spent 6 hours in the emergency room. My questions are #1 did he have any pain when he screamed out? He doesn't remember anything and even though I think I handled the situation, I was terrified. #2 How can we avoid this from ever happening again?

The change in air pressure after an injury like you have can lead to a seizure, no thanks, right? Has it only been two weeks? I do think those with head injuries need to take special precautions but not indefinitely. Does he totally evade the question as to when you'll be okay for air travel? And again, I'd look into other means of transportation.
If they arent too many side affects, then stay on it. I have JME, and I take Keppra. I've been on Keppra for almost 5 years now. Started at 23, and I'm 28 now. I had one grand mal seizure and that was the worst month of my life. Not knowing your parents, you can move, and the headaches... if he's seizure free, keep the meds! Nothing is worse than having a seizure. And you cant drive after that. I say stay on it. Keppra has done very well for me...
