Keppra

9/1/2017 | | 35
Levetiracetam (1500) for epilepsy

I have been epileptic for about 9 years and I have since the beginning taken the Keppra that my neurologist prescribed me. About a year later, as I still had a lot of seizures after my birth because I did not sleep, nor rested enough, he added me of the lamictal and since then, it has clearly calmed in the crisis. I can spend two years without having any. So my seizures are quite rare and when I do, it's always morning. I took only keppra during my pregnancy and fortunately my child is in very very good health. No anomaly, it's perfect. The pregnancy was not really planned. Indeed, I had not been warned that the Keppra could cancel the effect of the pill. Even if my child is in excellent health and is one of the best in his class, my husband and I made the decision not to tempt the devil and not to have another child. You never know what might happen. On the advice of the pediatrician, I did not breastfeed because the risk of mortality could climb. I didn't want to take any chances. In any case, I'm pretty happy with the medications I'm taking. The only side effect I feel is always fatigue but from now on it is a habit. And of course, I'm also very careful. Since the beginning of my illness, it is 0 alcohol and I try to rest as much as my body wants it and I sleep the hours of sleep I need. I lead a pretty healthy life too. It is not always easy to live by saying that you are sick but there are worse things in life and I lead a fairly normal existence.
