Hi
I don't know if this post is too late but my advice to you is DON"T DRINK ALCOHOL. None of my doctors have agreed to simultaneous drug and alcohol consumption. Your liver is under strain. Your biggest challenge is to complete college and controll your seizures. Don't succumb to peer pressure. The "scared" feelings could be minor seizures. Mine are. Happy studying. Besides you need a clear head, not hungover, to concentrate in class.

I have been taking keppra for about 2 years now and have only had one seizure. I had the seizure becuase of binge drinking the night before and not taking my pills that night and then not again in the morning. I was hungover all that day and I also did not take my meds that night as well. So I ended up having the seizure in my sleep. But no you can drink while taking keppra. Just be sure to take the correct dozes that you are required to take.
