John Smith Posted November 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 Actually bumped it up to 1000 yesterday, no discernible change so far, maybe a little more tired than usual, but that's about it. I feel more motivated beneath the physical fatigue and my memory and recall seem a little improved but it's to early to really tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cs1234 Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 i hope it works it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey_magic Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 I got some prescribed today. A months worth of 250's. one morning n night. See how that goes. Il report back anything improving or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Smith Posted November 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 Alright man, I guess don't expect any immediate results. Ive read reports of low doses being effective with some mid-term treatment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey_magic Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 Well, if I can tell of any improvements il be getting the doc told to up it big time. Lol. Mind you i read of the guy getting results with the 50 mg daily of keppra lol. I'm a not bad responder to most things though. (Cept bloody klono it seems, but I went overboard with that). I just got a bundle of piracetam before getting the go ahead on keppra though, think its still allright to take one of those (800mg) inbetween my doses?

gobigorgohome Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 Better memory and recall...that sounds like a dream! Still trying to get in to be seen. Just got some neuro-pychological testing done- will be curious to see what the results are. I plan on going on keppra/meds, and then re-testing, so can see if actually helps with the cognitive dysfunction. Good luck! Keep us posted!

John Smith Posted November 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 Yeah i had neuro psych testing done...guess what? everything appeared normal, ever since then noone has believed me when i tell em that i feel fuckin fried Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammywalker2009 Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 Good luck dude though dude hopefully the keppra works for you ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey_magic Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 How's the keppra going boogres and myslingerbult?? I must admit I'm struggling a bit and that's only on 500mg!! I think starting it in the middle of winter when my mood swings get worse anyway maybe wasn't the best idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Smith Posted November 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 Hmm, well i went up to 1500mgs 5 days after i started and ive been a bit tired...the dread feeling was bad for 2 days but thats about it...my afterimages have definitely decreased and i think cognitively ive imporved a little as well...too little to quantify but definite progress...ill keep you guys updated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey_magic Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 Nice one man. ive had a couple of moments of lucidity today which have been like 'holy fuck' like the veils been lifted inbetween the dread moments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Smith Posted December 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 Afterimages, starbursts, and ghosting have definitely decreased, as has muscle pain i think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zukov Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 That's good news boogres, im happy for you. Have you any DP-DR? Keppra works on that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketusa Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 Damn, sounds like I should try Keppra. All I have are after images, ghosting and starbursting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Smith Posted December 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 Yeah I think it's definitely helped it a little with dpdr as well. I have a feeling thatll take longer to notice an improvement on. Im happy with my results so far, considering im only 2 weeks in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zukov Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 Thanks a lot for the answer. Im pretty sure your condition will improve more in the next months, 2 weeks is very short time! It seems that keppra is more effective than sinemet so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobigorgohome Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 Awesome, Boogres, glad to hear it! I had a long awaited appointment with a neuro today- brought my big stack of papers to push for keppra, and they basically said I needed to go to psychiatrist instead. Pushes me back another month until I'm seen. But with all of the positive keppra trials, trying to keep my head up. Keep us posted, good luck! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cs1234 Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 great to hear boogres I might try that if my visuals don't decrease after a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
415_stylee Posted December 8, 2012 Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 Great progress, boogres! Can´t wait to get Keppra myself, hoping that letter calling to the neurologist appointment will drop in my mailbox very soon! gobigorgohome, keep your head up and keep nagging holes in the doctors heads about Keppra. I´ve been nagging for years about it ever since I heard about the first good trials in the old forum. Now I´m going to get it, just a matter of weeks, maybe some months left! I´ve had one (1) excellent doctor who took the little extra time I talked about in the other thread and actually studied HPPD and Keppra, who said "it would really be beneficial against HPPD". And now my other doctor catched on. All because of my persistent, constant nagging.. And of course, getting my HPPD diagnosed has made a huge difference.

John Smith Posted December 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 I just got lucky with my doctor i guess, he prescribes keppra daily at a treatment center for addicts coming off benzos and since he rarely gets reports of side effects he didnt see a problem in letting me get some if it could possibly give me any solace... but yeah, after-images and streaks greatly decreased...obviously still there but noticeably better. Also feeling a little better tempered and less foggy, actually managed to take a girl on a date and hook up with her haha, apparently my conversational skills arent so shitty if i just pace myself...

EmIly Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 Is it keppra that can cause rage issues? And if so has anyone had an issue with that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
