Can Keppra Causes Photosensitive Problems?
Hi,I have been taking keppra for one and a half years now. I started with 1 gm in the morning and 1 gm in the night. My doc has gradually reduced the dosage to 500gm in the night now. However I have grown highly photosensitive. I see colour balls in bright light and I can t find a possible explanation.

Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. They are side effect of Keppra. It is a photosensitivity reaction that occurs in a small number of people that take Keppra, often associated with other ongoing diseases like hypertension, depression, rheumatoid arthritis, high cholesterol. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
