Hemorrhagic stroke: What have you experienced afterward?

@methel , I also started having seizures are my stroke, and am on 760 mg of keppra, I initially was on 500 mg, but at the 2nd seizure, it was increased to 750, I’m feeling a bit more shaky and feel the increase of keppra may be causing this? What strength keppra are you taking?, is it agreeing with you? Linda,

I’m taking 1500 mg 2x a day. The neurologist started at a low dose and as I kept having seizures, he kept raising dosage. As the dose went up, the seizures became less severe. For example. The very first seizure generalized and I lost consciousness. The last one, only 1/2 of my tongue twitched for 10 seconds. ( I know it was a seizure. I can’t consciously twitch just the left side of my tongue 😛). He also changed me to extended release Keppra and it worked better.
Except for my being slightly more tired than normal, Keppra has worked very well for me. For which I’m very thankful.
Best wishes to you in your continuing recovery
