Ghormeh Sabzi Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 Has anyone tried any drugs indicated for epilepsy, other than benzodiazepines, Lamictal and Keppra? If so, what did you try and was there any level of success? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alice-acid Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 i also tried tegratol and it took about 1500mgs to even work, but it did enentually however that much tergratol leaves you unable to even lift your head the next day with dizzyness, couldnt go to college for like 2 days because i couldnt walk straight and had double vision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gill Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Dilantin had some positive effects on my HPPD. I stopped taking it though because it was making me too lethargic. Keppra is probably the worst medication I've taken, it made me suicidally depressed after awhile. You gotta be careful with anti-epileptic drugs, they tend to cause depression if you over do it, or are sensitive to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaolinbomber Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 Keppra didn't effect me at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VisualDude Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Depakote did nothing other than slightly calming. Keppra sometimes helps but have difficulty with it. Very mood destabilizing. Perhaps the time-release version would be useful but too much $$$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghormeh Sabzi Posted April 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 I was looking into that XR version as well. No one on this forum has mentioned using it. Have you thought about Sinemet XR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VisualDude Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 I tried Sinemet CR but it wasn't as effective for me. Haven't tried XL. (generally avoid XL since you it is not safe to cut the pills for smaller doses ... and larger dosing is often too much) Sometime ago read that CR is best for very early Parkinson's whereas advanced Parkinson's does better with standard. IPD is actually very different that Parkinsonism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
