Is Keppra for Absence Seizure?
Submitted by hana on Sun, 2007-11-25 - 11:46
I have 17 1/2 year old daughter who had absence seizure since she was 3. At age 9 she was seizure free. Unfortunately the seizure came back 2 years later. She was put back on valporic acid until early this year and was switched to Lamictal because of the vomiting. On 3/07 she had a breakthrough seizure (Grand Mal( which was the first one in her life. Her doc put her on Keppra 1500 mg twice a day. She is now seizure free except the space out that she continues to have. Any one knows about Keppra for absence seizure?
Thanks

You can always apply for free meds with the makers of Lamictal Smith Kline (1-866-728-4368) and Keppra is made by UCB, you can contact them. I could not find their number so go to www.ucb.com I really do hope this information helps you. I know that the prices are very high. Lamictal cost me $700 for a 3 month supply but I get it free of charge from Smith Kline so please please give it a try!
