To prevent seizures: Your dr likely put you on Keppra (levetiracetam) because an electrical activity consistent with a seizure was seen on the electroencephalogram. Keppra (levetiracetam) is a nerve stabilizer that is commonly used to prevent seizures in patients at risk of getting them.

Ask your doctor: Keppra (levetiracetam) is an anti seizure medication and your eeg might have suggested seizure disorder.You should discuss with your doctor why now.He/she is the only one who can answer your question as we do not have enough information to answer your question.If not satisfied seek a second opinion.
