My son Lorenzo is 5 and was on Keppra for 3 weeks. We had to take him off cause he was not sleep or eating.

I'm new to this site and reading the side effects on Keppra, my 8 year old son was on it and I had him taken off of it because he was having sooo many seizures a day. He was on it for 11/2 to 2 months.

After taking 4 doses of Keppra I developed stroke like symptoms. My thinking process was in "overdrive" but my speech was so delayed and slurred that my employer suggested speech therapy. This lasted 6 weeks and corrected itself once the Keppra was out of my system but it was very scary.
