I want to take out Keppra

Wed, 04/05/2017 - 00:09
Hello, I'm taking Keppra 3000mg per day, I cannot afford anymore. Please advice what the worst can happen to me if I stop Keppra like this. So far I don't have problem using Keppra, the only problem is I cannot afford to buy Keppra anymore. Thanks yustirani@yahoo.com

Yusti,  a lot of people going off ads will have" breakthrough" seizures. Sometimes multiple seizures leading to status epileptus.  Please look into the generics and also perhaps any government/ aid programs for people who can't afford medicine.  It's very dangerous to cut off your meds. Not a good place to be.
