Oh yes I am interested if anybody has had success with Keppra and the pill. Just like you JenJ I am considering going on the pill, but am just not sure. Keppra is the only medication that I am on for my epilepsy but I am on a small dosage of it because my body seems to be rather sensitive to any medications that the doctors try to give me, so I am cautious about adding anything else to the mix. So is there anybody who is taking Keppra and successfully able to take birth control pills as well?
