A member asked:
What is the protocol for weaning off keppra (levetiracetam) 500mg bid for someone who never had a seizure, and was put on it following a head injury after a fall. ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Situational: It depends on why exactly you were put on the medicine and how you have been tolerating therapy. Each patient is different - some people may tolerate stopping Keppra (levetiracetam) cold turkey, others may need a dose of 250mg bid before complete cessation.
