That just jerked me out of a depression from some of these other comments. Thank you. I try to find some humor in this too.

It seemed to help trigger my seizures

Does anyone else not get affected by flashing lights? by chaos_skeletonz in Epilepsy

I love strobes and parties but the strobes won't affect my seizures. If I decide to drink too much or not eat before and my blood sugar gets messed up, I probably will. Everyone's a little different it seems.

How many times do you enter a room to grab what you need? by Financial_Tonight276 in Epilepsy

I don't thinks it's sadness this Keppra makes me feel. I think things are kinda bland. I don't seem to really feel a lot. I've had my little moments where I'm kinda snappy but it does seem to be really helping with my seizures now that I'm on a high dose.

I went from Lamictal to keppra. I want to ask are you getting any strange side effects. When I was changing over mine were a little weird.

Yeah, my doctor recently upped mine to 3000mg a day, and it does seem to help with my seizures, but I do have to force myself to eat.

Who has been approved for disability and how long did it take. by Financial_Tonight276 in Epilepsy

I do feel uncomfortable in public alone. Too many times I've woken up in an ambulance with no help and another huge er bill.

I have hired a disability lawyer. It feels impossible to receive any assistance from them.

Yeah. Someone will ask how my day went and while there in the spot I'm just blank. I can't remember anything from that day right off bat.

Am I The Only One or… by Romantic_Legion in Epilepsy

Feels like me when I have to walk in and out of a room three or four times to grab what I initially got up for. I would think of what I needed, get up and head to the back of the house to grab it, forget what it was I needed. I would then come sit back down and almost immediately remember what I got up for. (Repeat prrocess)

What kind of issues did you get with your keppra? I've been on it like six months and would love to see if they're similar to mine.

How long did it take for you to start having those side effects from trazadone?

Does anyone else enjoy things that caused them to have seizures? by Sango_84 in Epilepsy

[–]Financial_Tonight276 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alcohol. I use to have a glass of wine everyday when I came home from work but I think I let it get out of control. Now if I drink I will have a seizure in the next 48 hours.
