TheGman6072 Posted December 1, 2015 Report Posted December 1, 2015 I got my hands on Keppra finally. I will be posting updates on this topic. Today was my first day with Keppra and i felt a little bit of ups and downs but it is only my first day so I'm not going to blame everything on the Keppra. I feel sedated (but I've had zero caffeine today), I felt a little angry earlier but barely and I don't know why, I left class cuz i felt uncomfortable being there. I was kinda tired but that probably was because I only got 4 hours of sleep last night. But when I went to lunch and met with one of my friends, I perked awake. I looked at my reflection and I am no longer seeing that demonic version of myself in the mirror. When my friend was talking to me I was a little too busy looking around. I have been able to do things without suddenly forgetting what the fuck I was doing. Hopefully this works but right now I still feel fat from normal
Guyindubai Posted December 1, 2015 Report Posted December 1, 2015 Sounds like a promising start.. are you taking anything else with the keppra?
TheGman6072 Posted December 1, 2015 Author Report Posted December 1, 2015 Maybe i will but I don't know yet
TheGman6072 Posted December 1, 2015 Author Report Posted December 1, 2015 Day 2 : I am still calm but in certain environments, I was a little uncomfortable. i am able to think more clearly, able to have conversations without immediately forgetting what the other person said. Talking is a little difficult even though I can say things clearly in my head but talking out loud I kept making mistakes and stuttering. I'm mildly autistic so I may react differently to medications than other people
onelovez Posted December 1, 2015 Report Posted December 1, 2015 Aspergers syndrom? I have heard something about it. There seems to be connection between aspergers and visual snow syndrome (possibly hppd).
TheGman6072 Posted December 2, 2015 Author Report Posted December 2, 2015 Yes I have Aspergers. But it is so mild that there almost is no diagnosis for me. I never had and anythibg wrong with me before I did drugs. But since I have Aspergers, I heard it made my chances of getting dp/dr from drugs higher
TheGman6072 Posted December 2, 2015 Author Report Posted December 2, 2015 Just took a nap. Woke up in cold sweat probably the worst cold sweat ever
Guyindubai Posted December 2, 2015 Report Posted December 2, 2015 Sounds like your body is adjusting to the medcine, but there are several positive effects..
TheGman6072 Posted December 2, 2015 Author Report Posted December 2, 2015 Yes the good effects outnumber the bad effects it seems like
TheGman6072 Posted December 2, 2015 Author Report Posted December 2, 2015 Today I skipped but I still feel it a little bit. Today was pretty much the same as day 2.
TheGman6072 Posted December 3, 2015 Author Report Posted December 3, 2015 Apparently this doesn't mix well with caffeine. Fucking uncomfortable
TheGman6072 Posted December 3, 2015 Author Report Posted December 3, 2015 Day 3 : I skipped yesterday so today is day 3. this time felt better than the first 2 times. It's amazing how I'm able to think more clearly again but I'm still not completely back to the way I used to be. Still had brief moments of discomfort but not as bad as before
TheGman6072 Posted December 4, 2015 Author Report Posted December 4, 2015 so this morning I woke up after a horrible realistic dream. I started crying a little bit (yeah go ahead and judge me) cuz it was like an entire flashback of the past year and a half since I first got HPPD and it was horrible
TheGman6072 Posted December 4, 2015 Author Report Posted December 4, 2015 Today was officially the last day. I'm not going to continue taking Keppra. I was having psycho thoughts. I was imagining things that were not really going to happen. I was thinking that some dude was going to come into the classroom and attack me and then I was called to the office because of some truancies and I thought that something was going to happen to some of my friends and that they were using me to get to them. These were all unrealistic and psychotic thoughts. I am back to normal now but that was just bizarre
umit Posted December 5, 2015 Report Posted December 5, 2015 Your best chanced to recover are adding sports i told you before there is no easy way to recover buth if you continue taking it the most side effects wil disapear in 2 weeks
TheGman6072 Posted December 5, 2015 Author Report Posted December 5, 2015 Great to know I should have done more than a 5 day trial. I get excersize every day but next time I get an appointment, I might either continue with Keppra or try getting lomerizine but if that doesn't happen, I will try to get Prozac but Prozac might make the visuals work but is known to help dp/dr. I was just crying my eyes out like 20 minutes ago cuz it really sucks how one of my opportunities to recover is gone hopefully I can get it back
Guyindubai Posted December 5, 2015 Report Posted December 5, 2015 Sorry to be harsh but I doubt the keppra made you this paranoid and scared... Usually dirty street drugs make those sympots kick in
TheGman6072 Posted December 5, 2015 Author Report Posted December 5, 2015 Jay I took 250mg. Guyindubai, well I heard something similar happened to somebody else saying they were "having schizo thoughts"
TheGman6072 Posted December 5, 2015 Author Report Posted December 5, 2015 Just like all other drugs, Keppra made my face puffy lol
Guyindubai Posted December 7, 2015 Report Posted December 7, 2015 Are you still on it? Or did you stop?
TheGman6072 Posted December 7, 2015 Author Report Posted December 7, 2015 Kinda want to go back on it or try something else
Guyindubai Posted December 7, 2015 Report Posted December 7, 2015 Maybe try it again on a very low dose? And make sure your getting enough sleep and having a healthy lifestyle at the same time
TheGman6072 Posted December 8, 2015 Author Report Posted December 8, 2015 Maybe. Might start trying other meds but idk yet.
