Levetiracetam (Keppra) Worked for My Hyperacusis

@Danny Boy and i appreciate ur help man.. Its just makes me uneasy since ibuprofen ans some stupid meds my ents have gave me before given me spikes.. But yeah i am going to get it.. When ur H fades does somewhat of ur T lower a bit.. I remember last time i had mild h it did lower it a bit on my mild t a year ago.. But since it is worse im not sure if it will.. But yeah regardless my friend is going to get it for me.. Just hope it works

 

Geo, I don't take ibuprofen or aspirin as they are ototoxic. I use turmeric for pains and headaches. I wouldn't ever recommend a drug which will make you worse. Look keppra is really safe, so safe that I've only had a mild headache on it...Look, I could go on about this forever...But keppra is not dangerous, it's given to babies from 1 month old. I think a drug which is safe for babies will be safe for you. Chill.

 

@Danny Boy .. Alright man... What d you take for head aches again? I get a lot of them when i hear loud noises due to my H.. So i can get some for it.

 

I take turmeric.

 

@Danny Boy hey also whats the mg u have to be on a day? So i can get the right anount of pills... He told me that only like 30-35 come in a package , so i can buy the right amount..

 

For keppra?

 

@Danny Boy yes..

 

I take 3000mg per a day. That's 1,500mg twice a day.

 

@Danny Boy really that seems like a lot dont u think? He said the longest dossage in a pill are 1000mg.. So that means 3 pills.. Do u start slowly?

 

I started on 500mg twice a day then upped the dose to 1,500mg. It seems safe enough to do that. Anyway, you said it's $100 for 30 tablets!? Keppra costs £0.60 a tablet!? phttp://www.chemistdirect.co.uk/keppra-tablet-250mg/prd-4k7

 

@Danny Boy idk why but it is more expensive here.. My friend even lookd online for it and it was even more expensive mexico is cheaper on the dollar .. But yeah ima buy a package and see if it works..and was that the same dosage viking was on? Or is everyone different?

 

keep us updated geo

 

I hope you don't overpay, but understand the desperation. It's your call. It takes a few weeks to kick in and you'd need to be on it for 2-3 months. It won't work right away, I'd say 2 weeks until you start seeing results, but 2-3 months permanent results.

 

don`t wait for the fat lady to sing ... it will hurt your ears

 

Yeah, I'm baffled why people are scared to take it? If hyperacusis is consuming their lives and there's a treatment out there, a chap one at that, why the sigma on keppra? I truly don't understand.

 

From the things I ready it seems safe enough to try it .. . so yes, I also don`t understand. Still waiting for trobalt to amaze me. Seems it does have some influence on my H. cutlery on plates doesn`t make my eardrums to contract as much as before. But not making any statements too soon, still waiting for that OH this is what it does moment! ... this morning woke up form T and couldn`t fall asleep for hours ...

 

Its cause drugs are drugs man.. U never really know what itll do to you everyone has different effects.. But yeah ima buy it and wait for results..

 

u dont sound as desperate as you say you are bro.....drugs are drugs, but we are not talking about chemo here...keppra isnt aspirin, its not ototoxic dude.

 

That is not fair dan! How do you know how desperate he is - just cause he is polite and reasonable and practical in his email does not mean that he is not desperate. You cant know how or what he or anyone is feeling or going through just by reading their posts here - if he is willing to pay shed loads for keppra from Mexico then he must be in a bad way otherwise he would not even be discussing it would he........sorry but had to say this...........just want people to remain sympathetic here.

 

Yeah, I'm baffled why people are scared to take it? If hyperacusis is consuming their lives and there's a treatment out there, a cheap one at that, why the stigma on keppra? I truly don't understand. This is why you shouldn't type while on trobalt, you're gonna make soooo many errors lol

 

If I could get it I'd try it. Only thing is....I can't get my hands on it.

 

Can't you hop to Mexico and get it? Like we can in the UK with Spain.

 

I didnt know he ordered Keppra from Mexico. I thought he was having second thoughts. Apologies.

 

@Danny Boy

From what I have read in Dutch patients forum is that it might give negative and/or aggressive feelings. Did you notice any of those? I must add that those users might use high doses and or use it for quite some time.

 

Could you PM me a link please?

 

Oddly enough, it's gonna affect everyone differently. Those side-effects you mention are nothing too troubling. Trust me, some anti-depressants can cause you to have dark thoughts and trobalt is meant to carry the same risk alongside many, many horrid side-effects. If you wanna get rid of reactive tinnitus/hyperacusis then these side-effects are very mild compared to living with hyperacusis forever.

 

@Rudy u live in socal .. Mexico is right there.. U can if you wanted to any pharmacy will give it to u..

 

@dan and how do u know im not desperate just because im not on here begging for my life or saying im suicidal? How do you know i aint suicidal huh just because i dont mention it on here? I am desperate i have very bad reactive t from my H my T is so horrid i cant even describe it to u, my H reacts to everything it is ridiculous .Im asking danny boy certain qs, im not going to take something just because someone says so.. I have to get some info first.. And i am getting it, just waiting to get picked up..

 

@Danny Boy
What is the dosage you used? Gradually? 1x500 then 2x then 3x?
How soon was it since you had relief with keppra?

 

People need to chill @dan and @Danny Boy have some mercy, geezus.. .
Seriously...and @Danny Boy you won't even take advil?! wth you gonna do if you get sick, I mean really sick? Turmeric ain't gonna cut it! I take all sorts of drugs that are " ototoxic"..thats probably why I am worse...or could be this..or that...

.anyways on that note..ya know, the one the fat lady ends with..I'm going to ask my Neurologist for Keppra after he gets his results back concerning whether or not I have SCDS..will keep you @Geo updated..and anyone else who cares.
