Mr.50's Posted November 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 Today is my 4th day on 250mg of keppra, noticed a lot. The sky looks more clear, and when I look at things like mountains, trees I feel idk like I can look at it more directly, like it used to feel I couldn't get my eyes to focus on one thing I would just kind of look at it all as a whole, but I can kind of get my eyes to stop and focus on one thing now, it's strange. My depersonalization has gotten better but at times I still feel very uncomfortable. Thinking of upping the dose to 375 today, don't know if its to early, I've been feeling pretty tired lately to 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.50's Posted November 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 I tried to up to 375 yesterday, I felt weird and depersonalized, had a very emotional dream of a relatives death but instead go dying they went missing, continuously woke up very confused and scared, going back to 250 for a few more days at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.50's Posted November 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 I took 250 spread into 2 doses yesterday and I felt really weird, I was depersonalized and having schizo thoughts, my heart rate was very low, idk what that was about but should I lower my dose or something? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guyindubai Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 MR.50.. can you provide me with the link to the study on the keppra made?? And also you need to wait until your brain and body get used to the medcine, it will take you about 2 weeks until you can start increasing the dose, or changing the way you take it.. i think..

Guyindubai Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 How are you feeling today mr.50? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.50's Posted November 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 Horrible, very depersonalized and thinking of suicide, only took 50mg today, just another chance for my recovery that will no longer happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guyindubai Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 I don't think that the 50mg of keppra is doing this to you.. it could be your body reacting from something else.. have you been doing anything unusual? or anything new? or is it just the keppra your taking that started those episodes?

Mr.50's Posted November 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 I'm very certain it's the keppra, nothing else unusual or new medications have been taken lately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granite Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 Hi Mr. 50's, Interesting trial you're doing...thanks for posting your progress. I agree with you, it's most likely the Keppra. Not because I've experimented with Keppra first hand, but I've tried many supplements that produced weird side effects days later exactly as you're describing. You probably want to back off Keppra entirely until your symptoms subside so you can reevaluate your trial and perhaps try again at a lower dose to confirm your response. You can feel comfort knowing that the thoughts and depression you're experiencing is all a side effect of your trial and will disappear as your body readjusts while off that supplement. It will definitely pass just keep that in mind, but you should get off Keppra in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guyindubai Posted December 6, 2015 Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 Me.50 have you stopped the keppra? Or are you still on it ? Give us an update Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.50's Posted January 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 I have stopped taking it but will be trying it again pretty soon, since I got off it I have noticed like small blue clouds or blue gas like trails in my vision quite a bit, it has almost gone away a completely with time but I don't know how keppra caused that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neffbull Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 FYI increasing and decreasing medication dosages doesn't mean that the side effects will increase or decrease. Sometime people will react poorly to a low dose and well to a higher one. Of course, the opposite is also true. Do your best to give it a full trial and follow your doctors advice. Meds should be given at least a month or two to really know if they will help and what side effects will probably stick around. This is coming from every doctor I have met that prescribed me medication. It may suck for a bit but so does dealing with this bull**** disorder.
