Hi,
Hope I am in the right section of the forum (newbie).
In short my husband suffered a serious head injury as a result of a fall in 2001. He has been on Epanutin, Neurontin, Zonnegram and currently on Keppra for the last year.
He developed a major head ache and loss of power down his right side recently and is now in hospital for a battery of tests. The doc seems to think that Keppra is causing liver and kidney problems too and has decided to take him off the drug completely as my husband has been seizure free for 6 years.
I am sure he should be weaned off the drug (750mg x twice daily). Does anyone know what the recommended reduction to wean off sucessfully is. 6 years seizure free and I would like it to remain that way!!
Thanks for you help.
