Thanks for posting your story Ron. Sounds like you've been to hell & back - & IMO that WAS DEFINITELY malpractice! I mean if I gave my pdoc a fly rod he'd definitely suss something was up!
Anyway, I'm interested in this Keppra. My pdoc beleives I would benefit from a mood stabiliser. I do get mood swings & irritability but I've never considered myself bipolar (though I may be for all I know). I've tried lamotrigine twice but find it too sedating. I wouldn't want to try lithium...yet. Questions: does Keppra just stabilize you mood or does it have any other benificial effects? Does it enhance your other meds (esp. Nardil) or have any mood elivating effects of it's own? Any side effects?
Also, whether you get side effects or not, do you take B6 with it? I found these: http://www.aesnet.org/Visitors/AnnualMeeting/Abstracts/dsp_Abstract.cfm?id=3367 & http://www.blackwell-synergy.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1528-1167.2005.460801_16.x (abstract 2.163).
And do you know if Deplin is available on prescription in the UK?
Glad you're doing well! Nice to see ANY success on this board which is (unfortunitely) a pretty rare occurance!
Thanx in advance for any answers you (or anyone else) provide.
