I'm normally fit and healthy (dog walker/cleaner) but both calf muscles and both upper arm muscles gone in past 9 months. Has anyone else had this??

      I had the same with keppra yrs ago, bad side effects from all meds, maybe I'm just one of the unlucky ones! Some work for a while then I get used to them and they stop working.

      The medication i was on before was tegretol and phoenebabbital and they worked great until the neurologist wanted to put me on keppra to take the harvoni for hep c, if i would have known this would happen i would have lived with the hep c. But doctors think they know everything! Lol...
