When I went to my neurologist in September, he had me get a blood test for my Keppra level, which he said was fine.  I don't know the numbers, but if it had been off, he would have adjusted my prescription.  I think this is pretty new.

We asked my son's Dr about having his blood tested to check the levels and he said not needed when using keppra???
