The Meds 1 (Keppra XR)

Keppra XR is currently what I am taking and when I first started it, it worked relatively well. The seizures were controlled pretty well and I was also functioning pretty good too. Then I went to change to Lamictal another medicine that nearly killed me; more on that in the next post. Since that didn't work I went back to Keppra XR and it hasn't worked the same and it has been a lot harder on me. When I was younger I went 9, 10, and 11 months without a seizure, now within the last 6 months I have had a seizure nearly every 2 to 3 weeks. My brain couldn't function like it normally could. I was always a straight A student until I couldn't focus because of my medicine. I went from a 4.0 GPA in high school to a 2.7 in college and I had to drop a calculus class. I was taking 3000mg a day and that was almost unbearable but now I am at 2000mg and I am doing much better in every way.
