Hi @chloep145
I'm also on Keppra, but combined with pure CBD,
I started taking Keppra last December after a severe seizure, initially 500 mg twice a day. My doctor has gradually reduced my dose to 15 ml twice a day - very similar to your dosage!
During my Keppra reduction, I didn't experience any withdrawal symptoms. Actually, I felt better as some of the side effects eased up! But everyone's experience is different, so your symptoms could definitely be related to the medication dose reduction.
I'm wondering - are these symptoms similar to what you felt before having a seizure in the past? Or are they completely new sensations for you?
I'm really glad you're seeing your doctor next Wednesday! Definitely bring all of this up to him or her so that he or she can figure out what's going on.
Chris
