Keppra has controlled his seziures very well. He is on a very low dose of 250 mg in the am and 500 mg in the pm. He was taking 250 mg in the pm as well but started having seizures again so the Dr. figured with his growing the 250 mg at night was not going to be enough. Everything has been fine since. We give him coromega fish oil along with other supplements that I thinks helps as well with the seizure control and the side effects of the keppra.

We had just gotten our son out of our bed and that same week he has his first seizure. I think stress (being in his own bed scary) and being over tired has a huge part of seizure activity. He always was scared to sleep alone and he told us after the first seizure that he would always get these tingling in his lips after he fell asleep and this time it did not go a way and he felt funny so he tried to get to our bedroom and then fell in the hallway and started to have the seizure where we found him.
