hi i experienced a severe brain bleed in late july due to a fall, and now home and doing well. hospital put me on 750mg of keppra twice a day as a preventive of seizures (although no tests taken showed seizures). i have been on keppra since july thru october. i have had many side effects of this medicine which were not suitable. my neuro lowered the dosage in late september to half a pill twice a day. now in october, i have been told to take half of pill to once a day for 3 days, and then stop (where i am now). my question is should i expect any side effects due to withdrawal now that i am not taking keppra?

Medication side effects rarely affect me. The main problem I have is my balance. I never completely recovered my balance after my first coma. Tiredness, which has improved 90% except with dosage increases which is only temporary.
I never tried the Ketogenic diet. Getting cereal in the morning is a major accompaniment. I could never do the Keto diet. But I have significantly improved my diet.
None of the medications I took for 44 years seemed to helped my seizures, although the doctors felt it helped decrease my Status Epilepticus episodes, who knows what it would’ve been like had I never taken the meds. I didn’t believe they helped the Status then and I don’t really believe it now but who knows.
Take care,
Jake
