Question: Can you. stop keppra cold turkey and start Vimpat
Brief Answer:
Yes you can!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks so much for this query.
It is okay to stop Keppra cold turkey as you are making a relay with another anti epileptic drug. You will however have to be careful and report any changes to me for further review. Normally, keppra is not stopped cold turkey and the only reason why this seems permissible is because you are switching to another drug with similar action.
I hope this helps and guides. I wish you well. Feel free to follow up with me if need be.
