thank you - Levetiracetam (Keppra) ( is on the list for that freaky skin condition which name shall not be mentioned.
"Keppra is a novel antiepileptic medication currently approved for treatment of partial onset seizures as an adjunctive agent. It has a unique mechanism of action in that it reduces negative allosteric effects of Zn++ and Beta- carboline in two main inhibitory receptors in the CNS- the GABA A and glycine receptors. These modulators inhibit the influx of chloride though both of these receptor complexes and are therefore considered excitatory mediators. Keppra prevents the negative modulation and promotes chloride flux, thereby, inhibiting neurotransmission."

Xyrem helps folks with cfs and fibro. Have to be very careful, I hear.
My lithium was oroate? I think. Let me look. No, duh. Carbonate.
This means they'll post additional warnings?
Some folks here do well with keppra, don't they?
Thanks, pj
