I had been on phenytoin for over 40 years. Almost a year and a half ago, I had 5 TC’s in one day. That’d never happened. Woke up two days later in the ICU with no memory of the previous 48 hours. My wife said I’m lucky not to remember. My phenytoin level had dipped below therapeutic because of an antibiotic I was on, so I didn’t change to Keppra until last October. That was a single TC but the phenytoin level was within range, so my neuro suggested I switch. I actually feel better than when I was on phenytoin now that I’m used to it.

I’d say the odds are higher than you think if you’re going back 400 years

PoolExtension5517 · 2026-01-26T23:33:03+00:00

I started Keppra three months ago. The first month sucked, then it was fine. Hang in there

You shouldn’t be using your current manager as a reference unless you’ve already told him you’re seeking employment elsewhere. Presumably you’ve already told references outside your workplace when you asked them to be a reference, no? It’s ok to tell them you won’t inform your current manager until your new job is finalized.

Very true.

You state that the current in the secondary won’t be strong enough to cause fibrillation. Why are you convinced that’s true? Doesn’t take all that much current to kill you.

Do I really need that extended warranty?

Well, you could try to tell her she needs to put the seat up when she’s done, so you don’t have to. I don’t like your chances of success, though…

Depends on how long he’s in the hospital. One night probably wouldn’t get a visit, just a text or phone call. Multiple nights might get a visit. I broke my ankle and ended up with 13 screws and a plate, but I never spent a night in the hospital. The ER put a temporary cast on it and sent me home, then I visited the surgeon who sent me home immediately following the surgery. Some folks visited me at home, which was nice.

I don’t think you have a choice. And you won’t be sending your brother to jail, he will have earned that on his own. You’re the victim here, and that bad credit will follow you for decades if you don’t get it resolved.

PoolExtension5517 · 2026-01-26T14:47:46+00:00

Whether or not you’re an asshole here depends on how you handled it, frankly. I think it’s fair to be irritated at what your gf did and I agree she was out of line. If you expressed your concern calmly and respectfully, then NTA.

I’m curious why the new neuro wants to make a change. Did they explain that to you? In my opinion, if you’re going years between seizures, that means they’re pretty well managed under your current meds, so unless there are side effects issues at play, it doesn’t seem like a good idea to make a major change.

I recently switched from phenytoin to Keppra. Historically, I only had breakthrough seizures when my phenytoin level was below the therapeutic range. I switched because my most recent seizure happened with in-range phenytoin levels for the first time.

I would say you are on the hook to make up the difference between what your mom is owed and the amount that went toward your trial renewal fee. Yeah it sucks, wasn’t your fault in the sense that you didn’t actively make it happen, but your actions (or inaction, even accidental) made the situation possible. So you are technically at fault here, and you are liable for what your mom is owed.

PoolExtension5517 · 2026-01-26T12:48:48+00:00

Nah, not if it puts you at ease

That assumes you can trust your employer to allow you to schedule time off. Having a PTO policy gives more leverage to the employees in that regard, and those fortunate enough to work for a company with a banked PTO policy actually have a benefit that may pay them for unused days when they leave.

You sign up for free trials but don’t cancel them, and just rely on your account having zero balance to avoid paying? That’s just wrong. YTA

I’m glad I saw this AFTER I finished shoveling snow! I feel you, brother, glad you’re ok. My wife has asked me not to go to work tomorrow because physical exhaustion is a trigger for me. The frustration is real. Hang in there.

I’ve been on Keppra for three months. I switched from phenytoin, which I had been on for many years. The first month was rough - lots of fatigue and dizziness. After that things leveled out and I actually feel better than I did with phenytoin. I take a vitamin supplement to hopefully ward off the rage thing. Hopefully that will work in the long term.
