Dear User, the seizures will stop as long a you take the medication. Once you stop it or abruptly stop it, the seizures can come back and might even be worse than before. Hence it is advisable to continue the medication as your Doctor prescribed. If you found my answer helpful, please leave a Positive feedback as it helps me with my Practice. Thank you.

Better consult your physician and then change any medicine. Don't take risk of taking treatment from a doctor who does not know about your case.

Dear lybrate-user ji
I must congratulate you on the patience and perseverance that you and your family have shown to your grandfather. The medicines will continue since he is predisposed to stroke. I would request you to have a consultation with your treating doctor and ask for his advice. That would be better.

Keppra is absolutely safe in pregnancy. On the other hand, if you stop taking it, your epilepsy will exacerbate and that will harm you and your baby. So, please continue it. Also start folic acid.
