Side effect on Taper off medicine Keppra

Posted by ysv12345 @ysv12345, Nov 5 4:44pm

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,
Jake
