Levetiracetam "Used Keppra for 1.5 years now and really helped relieve my occipital neuralgia. It gave me a slight headache, but this is now gone too with the help from the Feverfew herb. Keppra helped me live without pain."

"Originally, I was taking gabapentin, which helped a little but ended up making my pre-existing tinnitus much, much worse. I started doing my own research, as my doctor wanted to give me Lyrica or Cymbalta, both of which are a big no-no for tinnitus patients. I stumbled across Keppra and found a few studies done for nerve pain. I also found that Keppra is the only antiepileptic on the market without tinnitus listed as a side effect. I approached my doctor about this, and she agreed to let me give it a try. I started off at 500 mg twice a day and now take 750 mg twice a day. It has done wonders for my nerve pain! I have managed to have pain-free days/weeks and minimal pain overall with no side effect."

"I have cranial hypotension and daily persistent headache, so Dr. decided to substitute Keppra for Trileptil, it is more effective at controlling head pains."
