Gamma Knife
3 Topics FoundHi. I'm 34. I had a brAin stroke due to AVM hemmoraging last year . I got gamma knife surgery done but it takes three years for gamma to work(80percent chance that it will work. If it doesn't then I'll have to get gamma done again ). Anyway I've been on Keppra twice a day ever since (500mg twice a day). Recently I've started noticing that I feel stressed all the time . Like I have to do something very important . I get easily irritated and I can't control my emotions . I feel claustrophobic and overly burdened . The doctor mentioned that often after gamma some chemical is released in the brain that causes such symptoms n it only disappears once it completes it's cycle . He has given me meds for that . Has anyone else experienced something like this ? ## Sam, ...

Eptoin contains the active ingredient Phenytoin, it is an antiseizure medication. It isn't know to cause pain, as a side effect, but it is impossible to say the effect that any given medication will have on any given person. So, she should really consult her doctor to discover what is causing her problem and get proper treatment.
