High Keppra Dose

Wed, 06/28/2006 - 19:21
I saw my neuro monday and she really thinks that my dosage of Keppra should be increased from 3000mg to 4000mg. I noticed that this is a Very high dose and just wanted to see if anyone is on this high of a dosage and if so any differences in taking a dose SOOO high? My neuro said that ppl take as much as 5000 mg but everything i've seen thus far says that 3000 mg is the max out, so if anyone can help me out i'd be soo glad?!?! ~Cass

Okay, so it's been a few hours since I last posted:  I had a doctors appointment today with my local neurologist and he upped my dosage at his thoughts and my request from 2000mg per day to 3000mg per day.   Also he gave me a script for valium so that I can take one if I notice a seizure coming on, I can take one and hopefully offset some of the panic associated with it.  So hopefully, this will help prevent additional seizures going forward.  I'd still like to hear from some of you concerning the things I mentioned previously.

I have been on keppra for abot 10 years and I take 750mg 3 mornig and night which is the max dosage. which means 4500 mg per day.

It works fines and It has reduced my seizures and the length it time in the seizures and getting back to normal

My neuro have also added Vimpat at 300 mg a day which is also bringthe number if seixured down. Our hope is that th combination can get me seixure free.

Good luck
