" Keppra is an AED (anti-epileptic), and will not cause rebound. Keppra is a medication you usually do take daily, unless you are getting the infusion in the hospital.

Ketoprofen, (ketoprophine, or Orudis KT) however, can. This is a strong anti-inflammatory, in the NSAID category along with ibuprofen (Advil).

Take care,
Laura "
