I took Keppra for a long time and took several different dosages. Of course I can't remember enough to tell you what any of them were. I do remember that I didn't have any bad side effects with it.
I hope you don't either.

I am on 3000 mg/day of keppra along with 2 other meds (zonegran and topamax).
The good thing about keppra is that it is not known to interact with other meds. You also can jump right to a therapeutic dose..1000 mg a day, if your doc decides to go that route. Mine did, and I remember being tired the first week or so, but no horrible side effects. I didnt have any mood issues until he tried to raise it to 4500 at one point, then I got cranky ! As soon as we went back down to 3000 tho, I didnt have that problem anymore.

I hope it works for you !
Pam

Default Kepprage

You must "google" for info. The OBT has so much info on this; I also know there is a class action suit against keppra being started. I didn't like the medicine for the emotional side effects.........It did react with zonegran.
