A member asked:

I take keppra (levetiracetam) 1500 mg, i accidentally took a double dose probally around 2 hours apart should i just go to sleep?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Keppra (levetiracetam): Relax - the second dose was a mild mistake and if you simply keep one dose a day you will be fine. If you feel more comfortable not taking a dose of Keppra, (levetiracetam) for one day that's OK.
