Keppra and Marijuana

Mon, 10/17/2011 - 21:47

My 15 yr old son was just diagnosed with epilepsy. He is on Keppra and smokes marijuana. Are there any serious side effects of smoking while on Keppra. Anyone out there smoke and take Keppra? He just started Keppra today. 2 doses. 1 in the morning and 1 at night.  Also, do they side effects of Keppra subside?

As long as I, take my keppra, smoke my weed, exercise, sleep, and cook my own food at least 4x a week no msg, along with water, meditation, prayer and as little stress as possible, I’m good. Ten yrs and I feel I’m really starting to know my triggers.

I was 3, almost 4 years seizure free until I started thinking I wasn’t an epileptic anymore and deviated!
