I am taking Lamotragine, and have been for quite a while. I have not had a rash or issue. My Rosacea is a different skin condition I am treating topically.

Is Lamotragine Good For Controlling Myaclonus?

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭
London, UK

Hi everyone
My Neurologist has suggested taking Lamotragine alongside Leveteracitam to control Myaclonus. Leveteracitam has reduced the Myaclonus considerably but I still have them especially when I cant manage tiredness, stress or in an environment that brings anxieties. Does anyone take Lamotragine and if so does it reduce Myaclonic seizures? and what are the side effects people are experiencing on this drug?

Does Anyone Take Levetiracetam XR (Keppra XR) 2x A Day?

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭
Houston, TX

Tonight I am going to divide the 3000 mg of Levetiracetam Extended Release tablets and take half at bedtime and half in the morning. This is to stop the afternoon seizures.

Does anyone else take the extended release twice a day and if so how much do you take and does it work well that way for you?

FYI: My doctor has prescribed it this way.

I already answered that. I have already taken Keppra, but had no idea Levericetam XR was Keppra!

Has Anyone Been Prescribed Keppra (Levetiracetam) For Epileptic Seizures?

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

Levetiracetam is my current medication/treatment for seizures but I can’t stand the side effects, such as insomnia, loss of appetite, irritability, and worsening depression.
