My doctor gave me keppra (levetiracetam) for fainting seizures. how much is a normal dose? he is working me up to 1000. is this a lot?

Lower dose: Keppra (levetiracetam) is usually given at 500 mg twice a day (1000mg total per day). 750 or even 1500 mg twice a day is very common as well. Limiting factors are of course side effects.

Average dose: For an adult 500mg twice a day is an average starting dose, but will usually need to go higher. Most adults on Keppra (levetiracetam) go up to at least 1, 000 mg twice a day. And some go even higher. Your doctor will customize your dose to suit you well. Good luck.
