My daughter has recently developed adult onset epilepsy, she is 35 years old and finding this a tough situation. Obviously she has had to give up her driving licence and has pretty much 'lost her independence' as she puts it. She is taking Keppra once daily 500mg having had her dose increased from the initial 250mgs. It seems to be controlling her seizures but one side effect is she has bouts of uncontrollable crying, some days she can't go to work because of it.
We know this can be a side effect and she's only been taking the medication for six weeks but will she eventually adjust to the Keppra with the crying settling down, has anybody else had this side effect and did it subside eventually?
Thanks for reading - I am in the UK btw.
