Hello again, all - more questions...can't say how MUCH this site has helped me from going crazy and not feeling so alone.
My husband's been adjusting his Keppra dosage. Has had two breakthrough seizures. Last dosage was 1500 mg/day (in the pm) and he had insomnia. So, he switched to taking it in the am. Helped a lot. After 4 weeks, he seemed to be adjusting well and acting normal (no odd personality changes) again.
Then, he had a breakthrough seizure. Saw the doc this week, and he's increased his dosage to 2000 mg/day. It's been six days.
1) Do you find it takes 3-5 days to notice the new dosage?
2) When you start a new dosage level, have you noticed that the side effects are different? Meaning, the last dosage gave him insomnia, and this time with the higher dosage, he's really tired.
Any ideas/thoughts/suggestions? Thanks much,
D in Dallas (spouse)
