Keppra (levetiracetam): If you are being seen by a Psychiatrist and told you have rapid seizures please follow her/his advice. If the diagnosis has not been made by anyone other than your primary doctor you should seek a second opinion.

If you wish: You may well have epilepsy, and if you tolerate the potential side effects, Keppra (levetiracetam) may be a very effective drug. However, you seem to have misgivings about your current issues and doctor. OK for you to schedule Concierge visit and we can go over your situation to at least double check.
