I had a seizure which i am unaware of where it came from. Never had one before and i am hoping never to have another one. The first one happened in the Doctors office and i fell off the table and gave myself 9 stitches in my head had two badly bruised eyes and bruised my inner thighs and dont remember anything about what happened. Apparently i stopped breathing and was put on a ventilator and in the hosptial for 4 days.

Ive been on Keppra for about a month and a half.
Works better than depakote and has not made me gain a TON of weight like depakote did. Also i sleep better with it too. No side effects and ive been taking it for a about 8 months now. Alittle dry mouth in the morning though
