Hi,
You might want to have your brother see an Epileptologist (epi) at an Epilepsy Center to get the best help. I will let you know that if your brother tries taking keppra he may be very moody and have a hot temper this is one side effect of the drug and my epi wanted me to take it but I refused since I work with a lot of people in public school. Lamictal has helped many people and I tried the drug for my absence and complex partial sz. but I found out I was allergic to the drug after being on it only 4 days. One side effect of lamictal is a bad rash that can cause a persons skin to itch terribly. That's when the person must stop taking the drug. I ask myself is maybe mysoline (primidone) or phenobarbital would help your brother. Here's wishing you well and May God Bless You!

Sue
