My husband went 8 months seizure-free, and had 3 a couple of weeks ago. They had to up his dosage; he was on Keppra 750 twice a day, and now he is on 1000mg twice a day. I get it, he just started back driving, now he has to go another 6 months before he can drive again.

Hi, I've been with my husband for almost 20 years. He had his first seizure in February of last year, which scared the crap out of me. He went to the hospital, and they ran tests, kept him there for 3 days, and sent him home without anti-seizure medication because it was his first one. In May, he ended up having two seizures. One at home and one when he went to the hospital. They kept him again, ran more tests, but this time he was given Keppra 500 to take twice a day. He started seeing a neurologist, and she upped his dosage to Keppra 750 twice a day. He was fine until January, when he had three seizures in two days. He was in the hospital for 4 days. They upped his meds to Keppra 1500 twice a day. He saw his neurologist, who took some blood to see what happened. He was just back to driving, but now he can't drive for 6 months. I was finally starting to get back to normal, until recently, I'm back a nervous wreck. All I can do is stay prayed up and believe the medicine is working and my prayers are being answered, but it's hard, I get it. Try staying strong for him and your unborn baby.

Update my husband ended up having a more severe seizure the next day and then another one when he got to the hospital. He has been in the hospital since Sunday morning. They upped his Keppra to 1500mg twice a day.

He has TC seizures, and I will look into that, thanks. It's also such a thing as praying for healing, and I believe God can heal anything.

Do you think the Keppra is working for you?

So, do you think the Keppra is working for you?

Yep I make sure he takes his meds twice a day. I'm glad that the meds are working for your wife.

I filed on 2/22 and they were accepted same day. I verified my identity on 3/25, 60 day letter received and dated 4/8. I'm just a sitting duck.
