Re: [epilepsy] increasing keppra pills



I take Keppra XR. My doses are divided during the day. I take it of the
morning and before I go to bed at night. Every since I have been on Keppra,
which has been for about 8 years I have always taken it like that. It seems
like the doctor would want it spaced out. I guess some doctors are different
though. If it doesn't work for him, I hope he can find something that works
for him. Take care.
