First off I live alone.I use this medication with Keppra( I truly do not know which one has the effect, and if both affect each other, or if both are making the same sides effects. My seizures have become more violent( i have no insurance and therfore i refuse to go to the hospital,last year was $14,000 in medical expenses and about $12,000( which Glaxo-Smith Kline pays part of. Post-seizure i dont know who or what i am, or where i am, cannot write, scared of people, scream and fight,it takes me about 3 weeks to fully recover This has caused me to have hypothroidism (which my other doctor fights with me about, as the perscription goes up and down according to blood tests.I have night sweats, chills,go from happy to crying, or sitting and looking at the floor,unable to sleep and nightmares, constant cold like symptoms,headaches that burn with pain, dry mouth, bleading nose, teeth having problems, vision issues with light and colors, thinking ability is slowed or thoughts are gone( was a honor student), unable to remember things( these come intermittant, like pedi-mal), dizzy, tripping, and balance issues. Gag reflex issues, muscle spasms in throat. Seizures are more violent, and when it was tried to get me off the Keppra i had violent seizures. People have a bias towards me because of seizures in the first place, i cannot get insurance,trouble finding a job, and SSD said that because i garden to feed myself, that i am able to have a job. At least when i have a seizure in the garden i dont get hurt.I dont want anymore seizures because they hurt and cause so much debt,i do figure if i die there will be no more debt and the pain will be gone.Read More Read Less
