A member asked:

My daughter diagnosed with grand mal seizures she is on keppra (levetiracetam) did she will be take off the keppra (levetiracetam) or we will continue using keppra (levetiracetam) for years?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

That depends: It is a very frightening experience to witness your child having a seizure. It is important to have a good relationship with a neurologist. Many children do wean off of anti-seizure medication after a few years, so it is possible that after a lengthy stretch without any seizure activity, your neurologist will try weaning her off the medication. Good luck.
