Neurontin Nad Keppra

Has concurrent use of Neurontin and Keppra been successful in controlling seizures that either drug could not control when used independently?

It depends on the person.

My daughter has epilepsy and has been on many anti-seizure meds. Some worked for a while and then seemed to lose their capability to control her seizures (including when she took a combination of two medications).

She is now taking Topamax and it seems to be the best out of all the ones she's been on. She does have an occasional breakthrough seizure, but when she does they seem to be partial (petit mal) instead of full on events.

Is your neurologist recommending the combination you asked about?

I recently went to a new doctor and noticed he was located in something called the Professional Building. I felt better right away.

My niece is using Topamax and Keppra for almost two years, and the results have been fantastic.

In  the first place Keppra is not to be taken alone.  It is always taken with another anti convulsant.  Neurontin is not the strongest anti seizure drug i think but maybe your dr. is starting low and will change to a stronger medicine if you need it.

Just an FYI - Keppra is not always a piggybacked drug. My daughter has taken Keppra in the past as a solo drug (as well as a piggybacked drug); so it depends on the patient's needs and what the neurologist prescribes.

There are a LOT of anti-seizure meds; if one doesn't work or the side effects are terrible, ask your neurologist about trying a different medication. Heck, since my daughter was diagnosed 6 years ago she's been on Tegretol, Dilantin, Lamictal and Keppra - and those are just the ones I can remember! (Topamax is the latest one.)
