Georgecarter24 Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 What's going on guys. I have an appointment with my psychaitrist tomorrow finally. I'm excited to bring up the option of adding a new medication. Has anyone on this forum had any experience/success with Keppra/Lamotrogine? I know there's a study out there that showed how the EEG of 23/27 patients normalized 90 days after starting Keppra. Would love any input you guys have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 Keppra. If you can get one over the other start with keppra first. It has the most anecdotal credibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeygeorgie88 Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 I haven't tried Keppra yet, but I had a bad reaction to a baby-dose of Lamictal, which really frustrated me as it's supposed to be such a safe medicine. Oh well, such is the state of my brain..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rotbart Posted September 7, 2017 Report Share Posted September 7, 2017 (edited) I tried Keppra for 1,5 months but it didnt do anything for me. It made my depression hellish and me very tired and fatigued (which I am already without any meds since getting HPPD). But as @TheMythos said, studies and the information on the forums here point to Keppra as the most effective. I might try Lamictal soon. Good luck with your recovery man!

snowbaby Posted July 22, 2018 Report Share Posted July 22, 2018 I haven’t tried Keppra, and am on lamictal currently. I came to my neuro asking for Keppra based on anecdotal evidence, but she urged me toward lamictal, as it has a very similar mechanism of action and fewer negative side effects. I am still on too low a dose to really judge its effectiveness, but I can confirm that, thus far, side effects have been very minimal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
