Increased Medication - Increased Seizures.
Posted: 02-26-07 19:56pm

Hi, I'm new!!
I just had a seizure about an hour ago. And I see my nerologist in May.
I'm sick of waiting.
So I need some immediant help!

I have Generalized Seizures.
I'm on 200mg Keppra and 400mg Lamictal at night and 100mg 200mg in the morning.

I was doing very well last year!! I hadn't a siezure(other than simple partials)
for a year. But then in December - I had 1 - the day after Christmas!!
Then I had one last month and fell off of my chair and busted my face.
Then about an hour ago - I had another.
But I'm also concerned about these simple partials. They used to be just staring off into space, but they are now weird, wich include mumbling that I can't controll.

So can anyone help me out? I wanna know more about my body and what I should do before things get dangerous cause, imo, I think something is serious whith me.

Also, I've been wondering, can epilepsy or the meds I take cause memory loss or problems?

Thanks!!

Hi Fox, this is my first post also. I too have had an increase in seizures and have been having ones with bizarre behavior. I have tried to go outside in the middle of the night at 15 degrees wearing just pajamas, played in the toilet bowl water, tried to get out of a moving vehicle, and mumbled uncontrollably. I take 750mg Keppra a day in 3 doses, 100mg. primidone and am trying to get off of phenobarb. due to rashes and allergic reactions.

I wish I had some words of wisdom or advise for you as I'm puzzled by all of it myself. I have petitmal and gran mal both. I hope you can get some answers and good luck. I know how frustrating it all can be.
