Hi everyone, I have posted my question in a new message, it may get lost in my other topic. My 15yo daughter recently had a rupture of an AVM and subsequently has been put on tegretol 200mg daily. She has side effects, acne and joint and muscle pain. I read about Keppra and am wondering what the side effects of that medication are. I’ve not had a chance to discuss it with her doctor. She has a radiologist, neurosurgeon and neuro pediatrician assigned to her but they are hard to pin down. (We are in France)
We have been on Keppra since the AVM rupture in October. They are not sure whether our child had a a seizure or it was related to the AVM. Since we left the hospital in November, he has not had any problems with seizures. They are actually considering taking him off the medication. We have not seen any side effects due to medicine. I would consult with all your doctors on this. Their opinions may vary. Remembering your daughter in our thoughts and prayers.
