Guest guest Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 Just how many people have problems with the generic version (Levetiracetam) of Keppra? I saw a (totally unrelated to Epilepsy) Dr yesterday, and the Nurse told me that she has a brother that when he has taken generic Keppra that he still has his seizures. Unfortunately, I still have my seizures being on the . The medication has made a serious improvement on me, but having taken it nearly a month, I would have thought the seizures would have been completely gone. I have the Petite Mal Seizures, so I dont have the worst ones, but still this irritates me. I need some information to discuss over with my DR for follow up on June 7. If there is lots of problems with the generics, I would like to be able to come up with the information to give the doc, so I am not going in without good info. They will probably already know, but the more I know when I go in the better. I just want this crap to stop, or not occur as often as it is happening now. Thank you.

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2010 Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 If you feel the seizure coming on, try applying lobelia extract to the base of your skull as a preventative. They say you have to either make your own or use Teeter Creek brand, as it is the only kind that is sufficiently pure and strong.
