Re: [epilepsy] increasing keppra pills



Scandaloux,

Since you didn't sign your name --I'm using part of your address.

Welcome to our group. I'm wondering why the Dr. is having him take them
all at nite. Are his szs at nite?

Sometimes another med helps. I take 3 Dilantin on Mon, Wed and Fri and 4
the other days plus 4 - 30 mg Phenabarb. I take half in the morning and
the rest at nite. I've done this for over 20 years. But just because that
works for me doesn't mean it will for any body else. Each person has to
find the med that fits them.

My last sz was 2 years ago and before that it was 4 years.
