Hello I have been healed of seizures by the almighty God and man am I grateful. But I have a concern about trying to get off of  Keppra1500mg twice a day. When I start withdrawing my heart rate slows down or skips when I feel my pulse, ears feel like there's a lot of pressure, chest back and stomach pain and I get a serious headache. Or my thoughts go out of wack.
