Although seizure control is our ultimate goal, if your diarrhea hasn't resolved in a year and a half I would think your doctor would either try lowering your medication dose or changing your medicine.
What type of seizures did you have? What dose of Keppra do you take? Is your doctor refusing to change your Keppra to something else?

I had a grand mal, first ever, a year and a half ago and a minor seizure 9 months ago at 70yrs old. Started off on 500mg 2xday but I reduced it to 250mg 2xday. Doctors would like me to stay on 500, I decided to reduce. Still have diarrhea but doctor didn't really say to much about it. Thanks
