Increasing Keppra Dose

Sun, 02/18/2018 - 12:17
I have never been on Keppra before and my doctor prescribed me: Week 1: 500 mg twice a day (total 1000 mg a day) Week 2: 1000 mg twice a day (total 2000 mg a day). All the articles and information I have read say that Keppra can be increased by 1000 mg EVERY 2 WEEKS. I just wonder if increasing my dose just after the first week of taking Keppra is common. Does anyone has similar experience? What side effects did you have by increasing faster than 2 weeks? Thank you.
