5 seizures in 3 months. EOAD. DW is on Keppra now. I can’t imagine this is not affecting her progression of this disease. Any thoughts!!

    In my opinion, it’s the other way around. The progression of the disease is the reason for the seizures. You can ask for another medication to be added, such as Trileptal. My son had epilepsy. His structures were controlled by a combination of Generic trileptal and generic Keppra. As long as he remembered to take the medications


    Also please try to ensure that she doesn’t sleep on her stomach. In case she has one while sleeping.
