hppdvictim92 Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 Hello, My doc prescribed me Keppra today. 100x 250mgs. Took 500mgs half an hour ago. What would you say how many should I take? And how fast should I increase dosage? Many thanks and may everyone get a strong solution for his HPPD soon^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghormeh Sabzi Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 Start with 250mg per day for a week. Go up slowly. Add 250mg per week. If you receive adequate benefit at lower does then stop there - you don't always need to go to the higher doses. Either evenly spread them out during the days (e.g. 250mg morning 250mg evening) or go top-heaver in the evening (i.e. 250mg morning 500mg evening). Make sure to supplement with a vitamin-B complex to help avoid side-effects. Let us know how you get on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puppeteer Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 Best of luck dude! Really hope to be right there with you as soon as possible. Hey Ghormeh, wanted to ask why you specifically prefer a B-Complex over a specific B6 supplement? Do you advise against taking a B6 vitamin in addition to a B complex? I'll have to look into the theory behind B6's value in keppra treatment more thoroughly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewcb Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 How did it go? Punch anyone in the face today? Hope it works out for you! 500 mg sounds like a lot to start on, I myself have never tried it but have read about it and agree with Sabzi, take it easy or you might get side effects and they might make you not want to take it anymore when in reality you just haven't given it time to warm up.

hppdvictim92 Posted November 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 No effect at the moment. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kellen Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 I took one 250 mg pill and 5 mins later my vs was greatly reduced. Just one pill and I noticed a huge difference. Anyone else also get immediate effects? My symptoms broke through the keppra on day 3 but for those two days I was almost normal again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B vitamins as a whole counteract this. I would think a B complex as a whole would be sufficient. You might not even need to take it every day.
