A member asked:

Can levetiracetam (keppra) drugs hit you with new side effects when you go back on it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Go slow: If you were on a high dose of keppra, (levetiracetam) then have to stop and re-start, then go low and slow when reloading as rapid titration can cause side effects such as sedation or dizziness or blurry vision.
