Hi Teri, Firstly do remember that all people might react differently to either taking drugs or coming off of them, my wife Kim had a brain tumour removed successfully but was put on Keppra as a precautionary as their could have been some interaction with the surgery.She has never had any sort of seizure or convulsive attack or Episode , but after three years of being on Keppra (oxopyrrolidin-1-y Butamide) also known as Levetiracetam, she decided that enough was enough and started a slow withdrawal over six months and has only shown only positive side effects , she did however supplemented herself with a homeopathic replacement (Valerian ) which is a know drug that pacifies, if you are anxious, it has a becalming effect.More importantly you should consult your GP with your intensions and it is a legal requirement to inform the DVLA and they may insist you take a 6 month semester from driving while these changes take place. in case of adverse reactions.Good luck with your intensions.Nick
