In reply to Keppra Journal, what is next?, posted by susan C on October 11, 2001, at 18:40:43
> Today, I start tapering down off of Keppra...it is clearly not working, we are done...I love that "we". I think the thing that worried me the most was the complete loss of appetite, second only to the unstability on my feet. There, that is my two and a half month scientific study of the new drug Keppra. Cam if you are out there...there is one for your files...
>Hi Susan,
So Keppra crapped out huh? I really don't want to try any new mood stabilizers for a while. There is another one however... zonisamide (Zonegran). That was the last one that was offered to me several months ago, I said no at the time. Maybe if you are feeling up to being a guinea pig again (or should I say mouse!), you can fill us in about that med. From reading about it and Keppra I think the Zonegran might work out better, FWIW. It is supposed to "facilitate serotonergic and dopaminergic neurotransmission", according to the monograph. But who knows where they pulled that out of. Keep us posted.
