I : I don't think it a good idea to reduce your dose without having a discussion with your prescribing physician. You would be in danger of setting off a seizure. You and your doctor can come up with some antiepileptic drug that works well and is better tolerated. Keppra (levetiracetam) is a drug that is often used to manage seizures and is usually well tolerated. Please see your doctor before you change your medications.
