Seizures were causing significant memory loss for me - both short and long term (last few years). I've now been taking just 250 mg, 3 x daily for the last 9 months. Now, no more seizures and no more memory loss! I'm 69 years old, working full time in a stressful, demanding job and doing very well.

Now, no more seizures and no more memory loss! I'm 69 years old, working full time in a stressful, demanding job and doing very well. Was given trials with other meds but side effects were extremely pronounced and unaccepable to me. Side effects with Keppra have been drowsiness and moodiness at times. Keppra has been a miracle for me.

I've been taking this for 5 years at 1.5 grams a day; no more hallucinations or any other symptoms of my partial seizures, unless provoked by high spiking fevers (my largest trigger). My only "side effect" was getting back my thirst-indicator (before I only had one for thirst and hunger). It's not even in the giant side effect list; that being said, I've never had any of the other side effects, not even at first. The 1 gram pill is quite large, but I've gotten used to it after a month: you swallow it while drinking from a bottle of water, which opens up your throat more. Do not drink right before: put the pill in, and start drinking.

Within a week she was a completely different person with smptoms of hallucinations, delusions, paranoia, anger, and anxiety. We siblings are shocked at the severity of change in her behavior and are at a loss to ... Show Full Comment

Within a week she was a completely different person with smptoms of hallucinations, delusions, paranoia, anger, and anxiety. We siblings are shocked at the severity of change in her behavior and are at a loss to know what to do. She refuses to see a neurologist, and is impossible to reason with.
