Hi I have had epilepsy since I was 3. I
am now 28. I am currently asking if
anyone has had or has been interested in
vns therapy. I have been on every
medication there is for epilepsy and none
have been successful.I am currently taking
keppra 2500 mg in the a.M. And 2500 mg in
the p.M. I get sleepy sometimes along
with reoccuring loose bowels and sufer
from depression but can't seem to find a
antidepressant that doesn't cause any
sexual side affects for me. I also suffer
from reoccuring vaginal yeasts infections
due to the keppra. The keppra seems to be
more helpful in reducing my episodes and
it has been able to produce an aura right
before I have an episode which is helpful
but yet I still continue to have seizures.
Vns therapy is my last resort. I dont
know what to do. I am so sad all the
time. I am however scheduled to have the
vns therapy implanted in my neck very
soon. Ive heard lots of good and bad side
effects from vns therapy. Please if
anyone out there has any helpful info I
would greatly appreciate it.
