Default Hello:)

I have recently started having seizures too! I had my first one last month and just had a second two nights ago. NO history of seizures and I am starting menopause. I am 45 so I am going through menopause slightly early also. I seem to have had my 2 seizures when I am supposed to be having my period and am late. This cannot be a coincidence! I just started taking Keppra XR yesterday. I am supposed to be taking 1000mg a day (2 500mg pills a day - my doctors office cannot tell me whether that is 2 pills at bedtime or one in the morning and one at night). I hope these help - it is very scary for myself and my family. So far I am only taking 500mg. Trying to get my body used to the medication. I am insanely tired today. Hope that goes away. I am hoping to see a doctor who can tell me if this is just hormonal and whether I need hormone replacement therapy. The doctors look at my like I'm a freak having my first seizure at 45. My MRI was normal, but my EEG was not.
