@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member every med has a side effects in your body that harm you. sometimes its a little and sometimes its a lot. i read in quotes from the nih (a health site) "Outcome and Management
A single case of acute liver failure attributed to [[treatment: levetiracetam:588694b66b4dcc553fd2a145]] has been published". [[treatment: levetiracetam:588694b66b4dcc553fd2a145]] is the generic keppra (or the opposite). milk thistle has the following...1. Supports liver health, 2. Promotes skin health, 3. Reduces cholesterol, 4. Supports weight loss, 5. Reduces insulin resistance, 6. Improves allergic asthma symptoms, 7. Limits the spread of cancer, 8. Supports bone health, 9. Improves cognition, and 10. Boosts the immune system. this is the site to order the milk thistle (if you want) ... https://www.amazon.com/s?k=milk+thistle&cri...

I went from Keppra to Carbazepine. Neither of them worked. Now on top of taking the maximum dosage of the Carbazepine I'm also taking Briviact. With taking the Briviact for nearly a month, I had my latest seizure on August 23rd 2019. Everyone reacts different to each medication. Always talk to your to your doctor about new medicine. And do your research on the new medicine.
