I had a seizure. will drug keep me from having them ## Although Levetiracetam is an anticonvulsant medication used to treat epilepsy, everyone's reaction to this drug may be entirely different; whereas some people get great results, but there are others that it inevitably just doesn't work for no matter how many they take.

side effects ## Keppra Info Click Here ## My sister is 65 and has had severe migraines for years 40 plus. She has been getting shots of Stadol and Demoral. Neither is working now. She saw a neurologist last week and he put her on 500 mg of Levetiraceta. It is making her really sick to her stomach. She call the Dr. Office and told them but the nurse only replied that she should eat a saltine but keep taking them. She is supposed to go on a higher dosage Sept 6. Can you tell me the side effects other than what they have on the website? Also, that Neurosurgeon is supposed to give her an Optical Block shot. Can you tell me about that also and what the dangers aare.

How are you doing? Sorry about the problem that you're having. Have you consulted your doctor, yet?

I am 79 yrs old & had been in excellent health until a heart attack in January 2014 requiring 3 stints. Then in early April I had a mild stroke & 1 week later had 2 seizures-wherein I fractured a vertabrae & had kyphoplasty. I take atorvastatin 20mg (1 daily)clopidogrel 75 MG (1 daily) metformin 500 mg, Lisinopril 10 mg (1 daily) and just started Levetirecta 500 mg- twice daily. I have begun to have excruciating stomach aches. Stomach Xray & ultra sound revealed no internal organ issues. Are these drugs interacting or is that an too high dosage of Levetirecta? ## Hello, Jerry! How are you feeling? I am very sorry about the problem that you're having. Several of the medications that you're taking carry the risk of causing gastritis, so that could be what's cau...

Rose colored tablet with SLC 222 on one side & blank on the other, claimed to be Levetiracetam 500 mg generic for Keppra.

round white has M at top of tablet and 613 at bottom. This doesn't look like any keppra ive taken before and im scared to ## Where did you obtain this from? Was it from a U.S. based pharmacy, another country, etc? Reason I ask is because the imprint M 613 is not coming up under any U.S. prescription meds. ## M 613 is Mylan Pharmaceuticals levetiracetam (generic version of Keppra), 250 mg. Earlier this week, I received my first generic refill of the 500 mg version (oblong white, M 615), and since it wasn't on their web page, I double-checked by calling them. The 750 mg dose is M 617. ## You DO NOT want to take that medicine. It is made by Mylan Pharmaceuticals. It was sent to me by a pharmacist without approval from me or my MD. I had a toxic reaction to this medicine. ## What ki...

Can caffox tablet be taken together with levetiracetam? As I need to take levetiracetam on a daily basis due to my seizures. ## I am 63 this October. As far as I know I have been taking caffagot now known as caffox after my first delivery in 1982. Actually in 1980 I was admitted for a stone in my kidney. Epedural was done n at that time it was not successful. From private hos. transferred to General Hos. KL. The stone was washed out without operation. After the treatment I had this headache. After taking panadol with no effect I was introduced to caffagot by my office doc. Since then, I am taking it. Now in fact everyday I feel not so good like starting with a headache. I swallow 1 tablet. At one time I did not take caffagot at the first sign n the pain became severe so my clinic doc. a...

Please advise if Vimpat is better than Levetiraceta for mild seizures post Chemotherapy? ## Hello, Malasalle! How are you? It isn't that either is better than the other. Both are approved medications that have been proven to be effective. It's really a matter of trying one and seeing which works better for you. The FDA lists the possible side effects as being very similar between the two and you may experience nausea, dizziness, mood swings, headache and weight changes. For instance, the first one my fiancé tried caused a bad change in personality, so they had to immediately switch him to a different one and it's worked great, with little side effects and no seizures for months. It can vary from person to person, so there's no way anyone can say which would be best ...

My daughter and I are epileptics, we are currently on Levetiracetam me 2000mg her 1500mg, manufactured by Sunpharma. I have been informed by my pharmacy the company has discontinued it. They can refill it by another company I'm told the inactive ingredients can be different does this make a difference? And can we get seizures I'm concerned, but do not have a choice. Any help would be gratefully appreciated. ## Hello, Addison! The inactive ingredients are considered inactive for a reason, they are not known to affect the way the medication works or to have any biological effect on the body for most people. Thus, you both should be fine. There is a slight chance that one of you may react to something in it, if you're allergic, or if there's a variance of the active ingredi...

I am taking the drug levetiraceta and wondering if it will hurt to drink a glass of red wine at night as I was before about 4 times a week? Could the alcohol cause the seizure or have a reaction with the drug? doctor unclear? ## Everyone is different with alcohol and epilepsy drugs. I'm on 2 types of epilepsy meds, an anti-depressant, and medication for ADHD, so I rarely drink at all. However, my neuro says if you do "1 alcohol drink, max!" Basically the alcohol doesn't cancel out your medication, but the medication can increase the effects of alcohol. Most epilepsy meds are depressants, so keep that in mind. ## Alcohol is known to cause more severe side effects, when combined with many prescription medications, according to FDA reports, which may include nausea, dizzine...
