Hi all,
In the past I have had a couple partial seizures of temporal lobe origin, but a few days ago had my first experience of secondary generalisation and had a brief tonic/clonic (grand mal) seizure. I had had a lot to drink.
My neurologist now wants to start me on Keppra and cease Lamictal. I've heard there can be psychiatric side effects.
Anyone taking Keppra?
I'm taking the Lamictal for both partial seizures and bipolar and my mood has been stable for a long while now. He wants me off Lamictal for future plans to try to convince given its teratogenic effects.
