Greetings All... My brother is 17 years old and we discovered that he has (Myoclonus) four years ago and since that time he was taking (Depakine/Chrono500 mg) as a treatment. Since that there was no improvement and his jerky movement became more often especially when he get out of bed. The doctors precribed him other medicines (Keppra 500mg or Lamictal 25mg). From your experience do you recommend any doctor or specialized centers in BC area so we can take another opinion. Appreciating your effort and hoping to hear from you soon.

I live in California but my brother will be in Vancouver area next christmas and i'll meet him there hoping that i can find him an appointment with a specialiast over there to have his opinion regarding his medications. I've searched online but would you know how can i find a specialist in Vancouver??

I don't have myoclonus, but I am on BOTH Keppra (2000 mg) and Lamictal (450 mg) for my seizures. Never had any major problems with either of them (the initial titration onto Lamictal was very nasty, but after I got to my target dose the side effects subsided).

Just an FYI-- Keppra is known to cause mood issues (ranging from mild crankiness and crying to agression and anger) in some people, so just be aware of and keep an eye out for.

Good Luck !
