> Sorry, I don't want to highjack the thread but ... Ron, do you find that keppra helps you and if so, how? Not many on the board take it and I was wondering how it effective it was. I also take 600 mg of trileptal.
I started taking Keppra back in 2004. At the time there were some anecdotal open studies showing the Keppra might help in the tx of rapid cycling.
At 1000 mg/day it caused depression for me, but at 500 mg/day I felt that it helped. Now that I'm taking Valdoxan, I might discontinue it. I'm inclined to keep it on-board because I only have Trileptal and Keppra as moodstabilizers (not counting Lamictal, a very weak moodstabilizer).
I send all my best to you, Maxime. You have it tough, and I care about you.
