Hi Denae,
Totally unscientific here, but during a dreadful bout with seizures at the beginning of this year, Sammy's neurologist continued to increase his keppra. The seizures got worse and worse until he finally backed off the keppra and added another med (depakote). Of course I don't know if the increase in keppra was related to the increase in seizures, but it certainly made a remarkable difference in seizure activity (down from 30 or so a day, to one or two and then none) when the keppra was reduced and the depakote added.
