Default What AED Should I Take Now

Hi Folks,
This Wednesday I will be seeing my neuros nurse who is able to change my AED's. I've been on diamox and mysoline for yrs. and it worked great but then I started to have clonic sz. along with absence (petit mal), cp and sp sz.and I was put on Keppra this past August to help stop the clonic sz. but it has caused me to have a rapid heart beat, more sz., and it has lowered my red and white blood count along with my platlet level to the point where I'm always exhausted and can hardly stay awake no matter how much sleep I get. My question to all of you is what AED could I take that will help stop all of these different types of sz. I've been on every AED except Felbamate and there's no way I will go on that with the reports from the FDA and what it has done to people. If any of you have any ideas I would greatly appreciate it because I feel like giving up since I've tried surgery and AED's. Thanks for all of your time and help. May God Bless All of You!

Sue
