Hi, @terin82 and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I wanted to let you know I moved your post here to where others were discussing juvenile epilepsy so you can meet others such as @royanthony @jakedduck1 @sg325 and @santosha @kymill. Hoping they will have some insights for you on how parents cope with their teens being diagnosed with epilepsy.

What is your son's doctor recommending as a next step now that he had a seizure after 5 weeks of levetiracetam (Keppra)?

We upped his med, I believe he didn’t have enough in him to make it to the night time med dose. He had a seizure at 845 and next dose wasn’t until 10. Hopefully med increase will help. 🤞
