Facial Twitching
I'm on 1000mg of
Keppra
x 2 a day to control absences (resulting from scarring - brain abscess.) I've been on this since Sept so I'm guessing it shouldn't be related to this drug. Can these twitches only be related to tiredness or should I go to the GP? I hope this makes sense.

No seizures for over four months
I was taking
Keppra
for my Epilepsy...Dissociative Seizures. Also Zyprexa and Ativan. But nothing worked. I experienced terrible side effects..from rashes to weight gain.

Advice to stop seizures.
He is aware of when I have my seizures but isn't keen to increase doses as im on the highest dose of both or add on another tablet as he doesnt know what other meds go best with
Keppra
and Lamictal (on their own they are useless) Is any1 aware of another med that goes well with these 2....even at night

Just in need of moral support
I was then changed from that due to side effects to
Keppra
. I was steady on that for a year and then in January this year I suffered from two tonic clonic seizures within 10 days of each other. From then, they decided to change my meds to lamotrigine.

Side effects of epilepsy medication
My husband is taking
Keppra
, Phenytoin and Clobazam. he suffers from stomach ache and burping particularly after sleeping in the afternoon. He takes the Phenytoin at lunchtime. Has anybody suffered the same effects and could it be linked to any of the medication?

Should we try and adjust meds?
My 3 year old is on
keppra
. Has been for 4 months. His seizures are under control which is great. We has some lousy side effects for 2 months. Now he gets tired, needs a buggy more than normal and feels a bit off a few times a week. But most people would never notice these things.

Is this as good as it gets?
My meds prior to April were just 1500 mg of
keppra
for migraine prevention. I was breastfeeding so no aspirin. I took twice daily lovenox through two successful pregnancies in 2013 and 2015.

Ketogenic Diet
I have been on
Keppra
since the start, and upped from 250mg to 875mg but still do not think it’s enough. I would really prefer not to up it further so using in conjunction with natural methods really appeals to me.

NEWLY DIAGNOSED BUT NOW MYSTIFIED
Upon leaving hospital I was also prescribed
Keppra
(500mg twice daily) in addition to the many other drugs I have to take) and told to contact my doctor. This I duly did, only to be told that my discharge notes hadn't arrived from the hospital and, until they did, nothing could be done.

Switching from Keppra (levetiracetem) to lamotrigine
Hi, I have been on
Keppra
for two years seizure free at 500mg twice a day. I suddenly started having seizures again and they increased my dosage to 750mg twice a day.

Keppra
I have been put on a low dose of
Keppra
that is going to be built up over the next few months. I have been on it for about 3 weeks and now at 750mg a day. My question is does everyone get as tired as I have been. I'm unable to do anything without drifting off.
