bpl4269 Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 So, today I had an appt with a psych which was quite stressful and mentally taxing. My depersonlization flared up badly in that stressful situation. I presented my evidence for the fact that I have hppd; as well as evidence for the possible effectiveness of keppra in treating hppd. Overall I think the appt was successful because I was able to get a referral for a neurologist. On sept 3 I will see him and most likely be given an eeg as well as an mri. I guess my question would be, how do I convince him that keppra will be a safe and possibly effective route for treatment. This feels like my last resort at this point and I need these doctors to take me seriously. Will appreciate any feedback guys. Thx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onedayillsailagain Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 Hey bpl,good luck with your neurologist. My memory isn't being too forgiving today though, so I can't really advise you on how to convince him it's safe. If he's a neurologist he'll probably know that already. However, what I did was show the experiences with Keppra, along with the Keppra study (which states that Keppra is a safe, efficacious and well-tolerated treatment for HPPD). Getting the diagnosis seems to be the first step though..Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
