Anyone taking Keppra for seizures?

Hi @motobee
I know very well how frustrating this can be,
I have not taken Keppra, but other AEDs and some did not control my seizures, though it has worked for others. This medicine testing is very particular. Some might get good results with one drug, others not.
How long have you be taking Keppra? It takes some time for the medication to make its full effects. Are you having any side-effects on Keppra? Did you already try other medications before Keppra?
Curiosity, do you know your type of epilepsy? Do you have tonic clonic seizures or just focal/partial seizures (the ones you just get absence and does not have convulsions)?
Take care,
Chris (@santosha)

Hello Chris,
No, no other meds for my seizure.
Although I did have epilepsy the result of a car accident over 60 years ago, and nothing since this one seizure. Keppra seems to be working ok... twice day, and so far so good. I DID have tonic clonic which has been described as grand mal... so far I seem ok, but always worried that it could happen again.
Thanks for your letter, sorry it took me a while to respond.... Hope you are well.... Barbara.
