Keppra 500mg
Mon, 01/30/2006 - 21:14Topic: Medication Issues
Hello;
I would like to know if there are any online users that have used or know the drug Keppra for epilepsy. If so, have you heard of or wittinessed the side effect of hair loss? I have seen it written up somewhere in the merck manual and on some web sites. I have been on keppra for 2 years and it was just when the neurologist raised the dosage from 1500mg/day to 3000mg/day that it started by me losing my left eyebrow then it went through the scalp and facial hair? if anyone has information about this , please let me know? thanks

Can you update us here on this thread about your son? Did the Keppra and Lamictal continue to keep him under control? What types of seizures did/does he experience? My son will be 13 very soon, and we are dealing with simple partial seizures that occasional generalize. As of now, he is not under control. Would love to hear how this worked.
