I think the side effects are worth it if it means fewer seizures. I've had some mood swings, but nothing I can't handle. Just make sure to stay in touch with your doctor.
I swear, the dizziness from this med is the worst. I feel like I'm on a boat all the time. Anyone find anything that helps with that?
I've been on Keppra XR for a while now, and while it's helped with my seizures, the fatigue has been brutal. I found that adjusting my sleep schedule and taking short naps during the day helped a bit.
I had some issues with dizziness and fatigue, but nothing I couldn't handle. Just make sure to take it easy and listen to your body.
I've been lucky and haven't had any major side effects, but I did notice some stomach issues at first. Eating smaller, more frequent meals helped a lot.
The side effects are tough, but honestly, the seizures are worse. Just make sure to take it as prescribed and communicate with your doctor.
I had a really bad reaction to Keppra XR, ended up in the hospital with some crazy skin reaction. My doctor switched me to something else, and I haven't looked back since. Be careful, folks.
I had some serious suicidal thoughts when I started taking this. It was terrifying. I had to stop taking it and find something else. Please be aware of this and talk to your doctor if you experience anything like that.
I had some weird hallucinations when I first started taking Keppra XR. It was scary, but my doctor adjusted the dosage, and they went away. Definitely talk to your doctor if you experience anything like that.
Keppra XR has been a lifesaver for me. I haven't had any major side effects, just a bit of drowsiness. Definitely worth it to control my seizures.
