I reduced the Keppra medicine from 750 to 500mg and I felt dizziness. Is that a side effect

Possibly a withdrawal effect from tapering too quickly.
Dizziness can be a side effect of Keppra, but you should've noticed that before you started tapering.
Are you taking Keppra for seizures or something else?
Take care,

@ysv12345
Just curious if you're having any withdrawal effects.
I would taper slower than you are. But if your not having any issues I’d continue as you are. Of course we all seem affected differently by these drugs.
I’d recommend lowering your taper the lower your dose gets.
Best of luck to you.

I think Keppra has to many side effects. That being said it works for others. Make sure it is titrated according to your physician. Hope that helps.
