Discontinue Keppra Medication

I'm on 500 mg of keppra a day. I have never had an actual seizure but was prescribed it as I used to get really hot and nauseous, and feel faint. I have been on this for 3yrs. Can I stop taking it?

Hello, Andrea! How are you?

Actually, those could have been seizures. When you experience such symptoms, it could be due to focal point seizures, as explained by the NIH. Thus. I'd not recommend stopping the medication, without your doctor's approval.

The relevant question is, have you experienced these symptoms, since you've been taking the Keppra? If not, then you have your answer that they were focal point seizures.

The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, mood swings and weight gain.
