Does almost everyone experience memory loss to varying degrees ? or is this just a side effect that shows up in some patients? I don't know how I'll complete grad school with a bad memory (haha I was worried about completing it BEFORE my memory became an issue) so I'm quite concerned. Any input is appreciated! Thank you,

Alesia,
sorry to hear about the news of yours. I've had seizures all mylife and I think thats easier. They tried Keppra on me and it made me so high and drunk I could hardly walk to the hospital with the help of my Mother. Also having double vision. You will be in my prayers.
