Not a funny joke IMO.
Seems a serious question and I can imagine you are worried.
Found some people do have breast pain when using keppra but nothing on shrinking. http://www.ehealthme.com/ds/keppra/breast+pain

Has your weight changed while on Keppra? That could be a factor.

Crazychick,

It's normal for breasts to look smaller laying down than they do when you stand up. When laying down breasts kind of spread out and squish out. Your bra would look more empty. Mine does.

Also, have you lost any weight? When I lose weight it comes straight off my breasts and rear end first.

If you are worried go see your general practitioner and have it checked out. It never hurts to do so.

One more question - shrink overall, or get dents in them? It makes a big difference.

I had very bad mood effects, a "psychotic episode" for one, while on Keppra
that is bad Rx for me
with as much negative it seems to have with many I'm surprised it's available for Rx
