Anti-seizure drugs (AEDs) and epilepsy
It is said that Anti-seizure or antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) can effectively prevent seizures in about 7 out of 10 people with epilepsy. However, they can also create long-term, serious side effects. If you currently take AEDs what side effects have you experienced?
Keppra, made me angry and I just wanted to fight at a drop of a hat. Then they switched me off of it and put me on Zonizamide and I haven't had any more seizures. I had my first seizure at age 60 and was in the hospital for a month without any insurance. While on Keppra I had a seizure and drove my truck and trailer into a canal and back to the hospital plus a loss of drivers license. Zonizamide has been my answer to solve my Gan Mal.
I am so glad you were able to switch off of Keppra, that sounds incredibly scary! I am happy you have medication that is helping you. Jill (Team Member)
