I have been on keppra 3000mg and lamictal 400mg in the last 3 months.
actually i have been both of these dosages for about 18 months, but
lately have stopped trileptal. my dosage has always been high. maybe
when i started on the dose i was too stoned to remember initially, but
works well for me now. i had a vns implanted in jan 2003 and in jan
2004 started to taper my keppra. i have went from 3000mg to 750mg
since that time. i have started to remember things more clearly. in
fact i have started to remember dreaming, which is something i hav
e had no memory of for several yrs.

Charla,

I am only a 1000 mg of Keppra and 600 mg of Dilantin a day. I knew
it was the Dilantin that wiped out my energy a lot, but thanks to you, I
think I have solved my memory problem. Between the two, I have felt
pretty stoned here lately and walking like a drunk a lot. Since I have
started Keppra (this last January) my memory has basically been almost
non-existant. Mine has been so bad as forgetting some of my friends'
and family's names to mispelling my own to not even remembering
something for an hour. Thanks for you post; now I am going to talk to
my neurologist when I go back to see if he can either lower or changes
meds with the Keppra. Even with both, they do not fully handle my
seizure problems.

Dawn
