Will levetiracetam (keppra) cause nausea? wife was prescribed 750mg twice a day beginning 9/16 following two seziures and hospitalization on 9/14-15/2012. neurologist reduced it 9/18 to 1/2 pill in the am and full pill at night (to use up what we bought)

Levetriacetam: This drug has multiple toxicities, several of which are quite dangerous. Almost any medication can produce nausea in a given patient, but this is seldom described with this compound. Discuss with the prescribing doctor.
