I see the start of a post regarding Keppra nad it's side effects. But nothing underneith that. I have used keppra and it's generic for many years. Now there aer side effects and I do know you will probably read comments on those side effects.I have been in drug studies and know how those side effects do land on the list. Those side effects do happen and I will not say they don't. However I will say that 5-8% of the people taking the medication will get a side effect or another side effect. Which means that 92-95% of the people taking it have no problems. Keppra has reduced the number of seizures I was having. It reduced the time in those seizures and the time to get back to normal. Today I can have a seizure while in a group of people and they would know nothing about the seizure unless I told them. I hope this helps
