[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 191574, member: 1233"] Jessie is the one on Keppra. I think it does a pretty good job of controlling her seizures. I have to be paying close attention to see her seizures - she has no idea they are happening. We are working to increase her dosage now because she just had a growth spurt and was having more seizures. Our neuro has us increase her dosage 50 mgs a MONTH - She ws on 200 mg twice a day, then went to 250 mgs pm and 200 am, just increased it on the first to 250 mgs am and pm, and will work up to 300 mgs am and pm. Then we will do a long EEG - the 4 hour one caught some abnormalities, but that was over the summer. He wants a 23hour one after she has been at the new dose for a month. The first week of each increase she feels like she has a cold. I thought it was just a cold, but it has happened with every Keppra increas since she started on it. Tegretol was not good for her - she had a LOT of side effects - was barfing every time she took it, increased migraines, all sorts of problems. SO I hope the keppra works for a long time. I don't know what keppra does for moods. Other than 13yo PITA issues she is not moody much. [/QUOTE]
