Keppra and the menstrual cycle
Sat, 06/17/2017 - 15:17Topic: Women With Epilepsy
Hi, I am on 500 mg of Keppra daily, I was diagnosed with epilepsy in 2012. Since October 2015 I have missed the odd period and my period has become very light, now I have missed two month in a row and I am wondering if this has anything to do with Keppra? I am also on the contraceptive pill.

Just an aside... I have catamenial epilepsy, seizures when i ovulate. You really shouldn’t be on an oestrogen contraceptive if you have epilepsy, progesterin ones are good because they have anticonvulsant properties.
