Side effects from Keppra?

About a year ago, I was taking Keppra twice a day as is prescribed. Well, I decided to just start taking one pill per day and had a seizure. My doctor informed me that Keppra is a 12hr pill and you needed to take equal amounts twice a day. So what I did was cut down my total amount per day by cutting my pills in half. I would suggest you look into that so that you have some in your system for the entire day. God Bless

thank you for your information.. But why did you decide to lessen the dosage?? was it not agreeing with you?
I take it 2 times a day, and have no side effects... I wouldn't take less unless the doctor said it was OK. I am so afraid of having another seizure... good luck. I hope you stay ok.

My doctor told me not to cut the Keppra extended-release versions because it loses effects.
