i would be interested too! im from germany..

you probably already know this one here..

but i just came across it yesterday and i think its quite interesting and maybe worth spending some money. 

i have it too.

Keppra had also helped me pretty much for 5-6 months.my dr was lessened and my brain felt much more normal again.

Emotions and energy came back.

Now since 2 or 3 months the good reactions to keppra faded away and its quite depressing. What Do you think is it possible to cycle it and see if the positive reactions come again ?! Or shall i just keep waiting?!

Thanks a lot

Eric.

hey thanks for response!

my visual symptoms are static,after images and foggy vision. cannot focus really good. i loose the focus on one point with the rhythm of the pulse. dont know if this is understandable

dont know which formulation i take. has it something to do with slow release ?! then i take the normal release.

Thanks jay

and i will also take 3 times a day 100mg.

i take 1000mg keppra and 50mg zoloft too. try to leave zoloft soon. i think it does nothing for me.

soo ive been on it since yesterday evening. started with one pill(100mg/25mg). today ive felt really relaxed, awake and calmed down.

visuals still remain. dont really know if something has changed with dp/dr. time will tell.

overall i have a good feeling with it.

the best to you all

in my case it didnt. maybe just the first days on it.

portugal must be a nice place to live.

i want to travel there. just visited spain a while ago and it was very cool.

i really love it.

hey david and dukkha,

thank you both so much. i feel really honored

eric

in my worst hppd time i lost the good feelings i once had towards painting and being creative. but now as i get better(thanks to keppra) i step by step rediscover them.

cheers,

eric

im from germany...

hey gill,

yes i heard that many people who tried keppra felt more depressed on it.

but in my case i even feel less depressed than prior with just taking the antidepressant.

after being ten days on keppra, i feel quiet good,hppd still there but brain feels more normal and im very happy with that.

thanks so much

i now try keppra. im in my first week with 500mg per day.next week i will up my dose to 1000mg a day.

for now i dont experience side effects and it seems to lessen my brain fog. feel much more clear headed. i take it together with antidepressant.

i will keep you all updated.

i have hppd since 2006 and i think its quiet strong alongside dp/dr.

hope keppra is doing something.

cheers, eric

hey HBB

thanks for encouraging posts. i will try that definitely! if you find that file it would be great if you send it to me !! my mail is erictiedt@gmx.net

for almost 2 years now i just tried a lot of antidepressants. but didnt help that much. im now visiting a psychotherapist and try to excercise daily.

your story gives me hope. thanks.

eric

Thanks to HBB for your story and your help.

i would really like to try keppra. but i heard of a whole lotta side effects and i think my doc wont prescribe it

but i will ask. its the whole depersonalization and derealization thing combined with depressed feelings what makes living so hard these days.

i have hppd for 4 years now and it still gets me down. 4 years like a dream. that sucks.

cheers

eric

a few weeks ago i tried a MAOI for depression. but it made anxiety much worse and even my hppd. didnt help much for depression for me and now im getting back on a ssri.

Hey Joe,

can you give us a quick update of your progress with naltrexone ?

I hope it still helps you. i have hppd for 4 years and didnt take meds yet.

hopefully my doc is willing to prescribe me naltrexone or clonidine.

did anybody try clonidine ?
