Normal eeg but taking keppra? Twitching, anxiety, going keppra free

CDC funded page

Not a CDC funded Page

When I was 12 I was on my tablet and had a seizure, They checked me everything was okay, normal eeg and everything. I was put on keppra 1000 mg daily, I took that dosage for about 6 years, I began to only take 500 mg a day after that because I just wasnt able to take it anymore in the mornings without feeling like throwing up. 1 year and a half or so I been taking 500 daily but recently I noticed when I take it my body jerks (sometimes). Like today, i usually take the medicine at 12 once every day but today i was about 5 hours late, when I took it I sat down on the sofa, and my arms jerked I kind of felt my tongue go numb and kinda my whole body but I focused and fought it, closing my eyes seems to make it worse,anyways is this a sign I need to lower keppra? I feel like taking it one day and skipping the next day then taking it on the next, I'm not afraid I always been a faithful young person as a kid then this jumped into my life holding me back, I'm just wondering if anyone out there has successfully stopped taking keppra without any negative outcomes, I usually read things and see people take more medicine or can't work but I seem to have a job and drive, I don't want to take keppra for ever its depressing but I don't want to cause another seizure possibly make things worse. What should I do I get kinda scared when i twitch because it feels like ima have a seizure.

Purchase CBD oil. I’m 21

Purchase CBD oil. I’m 21 years of age and I’ve been on keppra since 2015. My doctors diagnosed me with generalized epilepsy. The keppra gave me throughout the years an allergic reaction, depression, anxiety, bad mood swings, lose of appetite which caused me to go from 142lbs to 120lbs. I started looking into CBD in 2018. Told my neurologist to lower my dosage of keppra to the lowest it could go which was 500mh twice a day. In 2019 I started taking ONE 250 mg of keppra In the morning with 250mg of CBD, 10 drops in the morning and 10 drops at night. My body had to get adjusted first and soon it did. In August of 2019 I did an little experiment to see how the CBD responded to my auras. It responded very well but 250mgs of CBD wasn’t enough. This year I purchased 600mg of CBD oil. Saturday March, 8 2020 I went to a Haitian folklore dance class which is from 2:3 to 4pm. In the morning I didn’t take my 250mg pill, I took half a dropper of my 600mg CBD oil. Later on in the day during class, most likely around 3ish I went to use the restroom, came back in class and felt an aura. I was digging in others peoples purses for God knows what. Thank God I carry around a small tincture of 600mg of CBD oil. I took a few drops and instantly felt better. Enjoyed my class and went about my business. Later on in the night, it was probably 2/3AM, I woke up instantly because I felt an aura. Thank God I share a room with my sister. I leave the 600mg CBD oil right on my counter and reached for it, took a few drops and felt better. Went straight to sleep and now it’s 8 o’clock AM (I take the CBD oil at 8am, same time every day). It’s a rough and rough transition but CBD really does help our neurotransmitters naturally because of our endocanninoid (idk how to spell it) system. My allergic reaction on my body isn’t all flared up any more as well. Rarely any itching. I also eat more plant based and alkaline my water with fruits. Keppra at one point made me low in magnesium and potassium I think it was. My doctors tried to put me on supplements and I said fuck that as well and just started eating more plant based. That was about 2 years ago, the last time I went to a doctors appointment all my vitals were good. I haven’t seen my neurologist in 2 years and don’t need to see them anymore because I’m walking down a path to healing. CBD oil is helping me and it should help you too. Much love and respect
