Only 12 cases of: breast pain or tenderness reported out of 19 thousand people reporting side effects since 2008. All were people who were taking Keppra (levetiracetam) for at least 5 years. All were 50 y/o or older (8 women 4 men) I suggest you consider other causes (birth control / hormones / pregnancy)
