I started having grand mal seizures about a year ago. I can't figure out why and either can any doctors. They prescribes me KeppraKeppra Keppra xr 500mg 4 times a day but does not help. Someone has mentioned that it could be caused by stress or severe anxiety. I want to know if that could be the cause. I have them in my sleep sometime so I am not sure. Please help me. I am so scared to be alone. I don't want this to kill me. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
Keppra is an anti seizure medication so if you are having grand mal seizures then they might need to change it to another medication or add another. Anxiety can worsen any disability but would not by itself cause seizures. You would definitely want to speak to a neurologist to get a full check up including an EEG, MRI and perhaps a sleep study and in the meantime post the question in the neurology forum as well.
All the best...
