Liz,
I have been on Keppra for years and as for getting used to it and the the
changes. It was the easiest one I ever adjusted to compared to the other
seizure medicines.My neurologist increased the dosage 500mg's at a time. I
don't think it should take too long to get used to. The times when I have
been monitored in the hospital, it goes down 500mgs at a time. It is harder
to go off of than to go back on it. I went through that a couple of months
ago.Everybody deals with the side effects differently, but with me when I
was adjusting it, a week or so was all it took for me. I hope you don't have
any problems with it either. Take care.
Tammy
