as was said previously the amount depends on the person and their needs. Also before taking meds make sure the dianosis is correct not just a guess. Taking meds that are not needed could have serious side effects. I take 3 Lyrica 150mg three times a day & Keppra 300mg 2 morning, 3 night.

Dear Sir/Madam,
After working hard for over 25 years and built a decent life for my self and my family, because of and due to the last 10 years of persistent epileptic seizures, I lost my wife, my home, my job, my car, my driving license and eveything I ever saved to become destitute homeless.
I've been told by Stanford University, I need brain surgery to cure my seizures but I don't have health insurance. Can you please help me stop my seizures.
Thank you,
Regards

Off the top of my head, I can't remember which meds I'm on this week.
