It was hard at first coping with this. The doctors started me on Tegretol but it wasn't working well. I had times when I'd have mini seizures. Like I'd fade in and out or drop thngs in my hand or collapse. So my doctor switched me to Keppra, and it's made a BIG improvement. I no longer have seizures or mini seizures anymore! I can go swimming again, and just keep on being me with out constant worry!

Second go-round on this. Works pretty well, but my white blood cell count dropped very badly and the drug was blamed.Doctors now think it may be one of my other drugs causing the problem.Final verdict is'nt in
