Hi there.
I had my first tonic clonic seizure in July of 2008 at the age of 18 (no cause was found that I can remember), and had a second one nearly 10 years later in January of 2018 (followed a third one in the emergency room). I was put on 500mgs of generic keppra 2x/day.
I attributed the seizure to a magnesium deficiency (my symptoms included heart arrhythmia, and myoclonic jerks) and began supplementing magnesium. This seemed to quell the symptoms and I slowly stopped taking the levetiracetam (stupid, I know). Then on 10/11/18, i had a fourth tonic clonic seizure that, again landed me in the emergency room. Again, I was prescribed 500mg of generic keppra, while I wait to see a neurologist.
All my google searches for the possible causes of my seizures bring me back here, so I thought I'd join and interact with people who can provide insight into their experiences with seizures and/or epilepsy.
