Keppra and Alcohol
Mon, 02/04/2008 - 13:49I am a healthy 28 year old male who just had his first 2 seizures on consecutive days. I went to the hospital and had an MRI and an EEG. The EEG came back abnormal so the DR. put me on Keppra 1000mg a day. I am a social drinker who drinks regularly. The Doctor said I shouldn't drink and if I do I can only have one drink. Is this true? I am not an alcoholic but the thought of never being able to get drunk again is fairly upsetting to me. Does anyone have any advice? What happens if I do drink?
Thanks

Hey I'm a 17 year old male. In the past 3 weeks I've had 2 seizures, the first two I've ever had. When at the hospital I took an CT scan and an EEG both of which came back normal. Unable to determine why I had these seizures the drs prescribed me to take Keppra. I realize I'm not legal drinking age, so save me the guilt trip. I go to parties just about every weekend and while getting drunk isn't the most important thing to me, considering I still have my senior year of high school and college left, not being able to ever drink again upsets me. So if anyone could shed some light on how to safely mix alcohol and Kepptra thatd be greatly appreciated.
