Default Ah, Fun Doctors Visits

So, today was my first trip to the RSD Specialist/Pain Management Specialist (I just, thanks to Sandra learned how to post pictures on a thread, so, feel free to reference them). He then told me, essentially I had RSD, but that he needed a bone scan done and a sympathetic block as well (swearing that the sympathic block would be the absolute definitive diagnosis). When I explained to him that I was taking 1800 mg of Neurontin daily, coupled with low doses of Vicodin, and, that my quality of life, in terms of pain management was poor (I have left the house three times this past week and a half, this being one of the times, and, another doctor's visit accounting for the other of the three times), he put me on a drug called Keppra. I am sure some of you are familiar with it....interested in any positive or negative feedback out there...
I already feel drugged up, will I feel more so?
