Have you tried combination medication with Keppra? I read that several medications may be needed to treat all seizure types/symptoms.
Is your daughter able to minimize the triggers of her seizures? It is so important that she takes medication and minimizes triggers so she doesn’t have any accidents/injuries during/after a seizure. Bathing/swimming and anything where position can make it hard for your daughter to breathe during/after a seizure, supervision is so important to keep her safe.

She has only had two convulsive seizures and many morning myoclonic symptoms. I’m learning a lot as I go, but currently she just takes the keppra and vitamin b, two times a day. We are very mindful of her activities and triggers, which primarily seems to be tiredness.
I know it’s important to stop the seizures but her moods are so severe it ends up disrupting the whole household
