Grace has not had any more seizures since her new dose of Keppra has taken effect. We have a doctor appt at the end of the month with a sleep specialist followed by a sleep study to make sure she is getting the proper type of sleep.
Current Meds
Keppra 1000 mg twice a day (2000 mg)
Trileptal 300 mg twice a day (600 mg)
TOTAL= 2600 mg
Old dose last October
Keppra 750 mg twice a day (1500 mg)
Trileptal 450 mg AM, 600 mg PM (1050 mg)
OLD TOTAL= 2550 mg
I was hoping we would be decreasing the amount of meds she needed, but look it's about the same, just different strengths of each drug. I believe the Keppra is more effective than the Trileptal, so I'm okay with the switch. The meds still cost about $210/month with insurance.
Just think, Neuro originally thought she would be stable with only 600 mg Trileptal per day. Now she is taking 2000 mg more meds than they originally thought. Kind of scary although it seems really stable right now.
Unfortunately, allergy season is starting early and I am now adding Zyrtec and Nasonex to her regimen. Poor kid.
