Consult neurologist: Consult your treating neurologist , inform him that baby is still having seizures .Your baby may need higher dose of medicines ,either increase in dosage or add other anti-seizure drug .The seizure should be controlled at the earliest possible

I have had eeg, mri, etc. Eeg was slightly abnorma-put me on keppra (levetiracetam). What other tests can they put me thru-i think I have both syncope & seizures.

If I had 2 normal EEGs and one normal MRI and my Dr. discontinued Keppra is this why I just had seizure or should I suspect syncope. ?

My expert neurologist performed 2 EEGs and MRI which were normal and discontinued 500mg Keppra. Two weeks later, major seizure. Is this common?

SEIZURE DOCTOR*** I had an EEG done. I was on Lamictal, Keppra, (levetiracetam) and Dilantin IV Drip. Will those meds cause the EEG to give an inaccurate result?

Doctor told me that i had a seizure according to an abnormal eeg. Does the generic keppra (levetiracetam) make my thinking clearer and change brain functioning?
