My control is still not as stable as when i was on the Carbamazipine and Ethosuximide but if you dont try these things you will never know. When i eventually got to 1500mg and 250mg Ethosuximide it was decided the Keppra was above my tolerence. My doctor agreed this was the best way forward as we needed to alliminate side effects through trial. I insisted on dropping all the lamotrogine also carbamazipine and bringing ethosuximide to a minimum dose. The blisters then turned into Psorisis - i was in crisis. I went straight back to the doctor and diagnosed Polymorphic light eruption. After going to the doctor to discuss my meds and drop the Lamotrigin i started developing blisters all over. Now the middle of summer light began to hurt my eyes. It started with a sore throat and an inability to move. After struggling to reach the required 1500mg i became very ill. It is difficult to state what the effects from the Keppra and the interactions. At this stage i was then introduced to Keppra and was told to remain on the full dosage of the other medication until i reached 1500mg Keppra. I was first introduced to Lamotrigine and the side effects were awful. After the birth of my son i decided to try other medications. I had been on Carbamazipine and Ethosuximide for years and was stable. When i was first introduced to Keppra it was trial and error.
