Need Treatment For Epilepsy.
Okay. I want to be a normal 20 year old like all my friends. I realize I can't because I have epilepsy but still!!! Will someone please give me a straight honest truth about anti epileptic drugs? I am on 5000 mg of keppra A LOT and I want to know if that's the reason whenever I go out drinking I can't FEEL drunk I just get sick, when I smoke huka, I get sick. When I smoke pot, I have seizures. So I stopped smoking pot. But I need to know. Are there even limits to what a can do? Or should i just give up be a loner the rest of my life?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate concern and I would like to say that if you are a epileptic patient then you should not consume the alcohol neither suppose to smoke any stuff this would aggravate the symptoms of epilepsy, and then dose of drug may be increased, hope this information helps you, take care and have a nice day.
