DeanI made the changes many years ago. Keppra has been the best medication I have ever used in the 50+ years I have been living and dealing with epilepsy. The keppra reduced the number of seizures I was having and the time in those seizures. Doc coupled the keppra with vimpat about 2 years ago and the number of seizures has been reduced even more. I can now have a seizure while discussing something with people and they know nothing about the seizure. I had one while talking to my PCP and after I had finished talking I asked him what he thought the dealy was for. "I thought yo umight have been searching for a word. Why?" I then told him it was a seizure. He was amazed since I had had seizures in his office only to be ther for an hour or so before I got back to normal. I hope it works for you as well if not better then it has for me.
