How old is your son?  My just turned 3 son is on 7ml's twice a day..  He has been on this dose since he was 2.

my18 mo old son has begun having issues , and his neurologist prescribed keppra day 3 and he began acting very strange ...even for him , he is a very active lil guy and seeing what he went through this morning was both heart breaking and scary ! im trying to be strong and wait , but its scaring the hell out of me , he was having any where from 200 to 300 episodes per day (tho very mild) and now in just those 3 days he has reduced in frequency , but increased in duration and the look in his little eyes just kills me and all i can do is cry for him ....wtf do i do ?

Hi Coleton1,

Can you please let us know what are the developmental delays happened for your kid? Because my son also under Keppra for past 4.5 Months, now he is 6 months old. He is rolling now and babling, he can recognize strangers, smiling and active. He is always keeping his leg folded but he does cycling action.
