I took keppra for my szs . Have your kidneys checked every 6 months. Watch out for keppra rage and keppra
depression. Wishing you the best of luck on keppra.

Your Dr should have advised you on the med intervals. Everyone szs are different and what one needs at nite another in the morning or afternoon. It has to suit your needs.

Hi LouH, I have Grand Mal Seizures and take Dilantin, but about a month ago I had a facial seizure (uncontrolable tounge movements). They said it was because I skipped my meds that day..... I know this doesn't help on the Keppra but I know what your experiencing. I take my dilanting every 12hrs.

CANDACE, THANKS FOR SHARING. WHAT I HAVE IS TARDIVE DYSKENISIA DUE TO PARKINSON'S BUT ALTHOUGH I CAN DEAL WITH THE STIFFNESS OF THE HAND/ARM, IT IS FRUSTRATING. I'VE ONLY BEEN TAKING THIS MED (KEPPRA) FOR THREE DAYS, SO I GUESS I'LL WAIT AND SEE. TAKE CARE AND I HOPE YOU FEEL BETTER.
