In reply to Cam, other areas and Keppra Levetiracetam, posted by susan C on August 16, 2001, at 16:44:55
Susan - I have no experience with Keppra, outside of the little blurbs I Have read (ie. little chance of pharmacokinetic drug-drug interactions and mechanism of action related to GABA system, but unknown).
I know of no one who has tried it, but since I work in the community, that is not unusual for a new drug, especially for off-label use. Theoretically, enhancing GABAergic transmission should work in both epilepsy and bipolar disorder, by stabilizing neuronal membranes (nerve cells).
Sorry, but you'll be my guinea pig on this one. Perhaps start a new thread and ask others, especially Europeans, about Keppra.
Good luck - Cam
