"My neurologist prescribed Keppra initially 500 MG in the morning and 500 MG in the eveninig. I was so groggy it was unbelievable. All I wanted to do was sleep. We switched to the XR Keppra 500 MG twice per day at bedtime and it has been much better. Still suffer from some side effects (skin rash, stiff neck) but feeling much better. 8 weeks into it and all appears well! Good luck to all, I hope this helps."

"I have tried 3 other types of seizure medications, but they all seemed to have many more negative side effects. Keppra XR has been a good medicine for me at this time and any noticeable side effects went away within a short time."

"Since I started taking Keppra XR I have been experiencing hair loss and memory issues. Now my doctor switched me to the Keppra XR. I find it more alert to take the Keppra XR one time a day. I can only hope the hair loss doesn't continue, as a female it is very upsetting. I have also developed a slight hand tremor the doctor says it is unrelated to meds. I have only been on it for over a month."

"My fiance has been using Keppra XR since January of 09. So far he has not had any seizures. But has experienced all the side effects of the medication. But it does work. I would recommend Keppra XR."
