hi 171dave - there are other meds beyond keppra but most are expensive, unless your prescription drug co. will pay cost? you should ask your dr to prescribe another seizure med unless they feel keppra is the only one for you. as i stated in my post, i finally came off keppra in 4 mos (dr did not agree to take me off but i insisted because of too many side effects it was causing. i was on keppra as a preventive after surgery for a fall that caused a brain bleed. i wish i could tell you other meds than keppra, but i don't know the names, your dr. should be able to prescribe other meds.
