Hi,
Yes you are right, keppra may have side effects which may be difficult to control. Sorry I could not understand how much you in a day? Generally we start with 250 mg once and increase it in 2 weeks to 2 times and then to 500 mg 2 times a day. Maximum dose is 1500 mg in a day. In this way the side effects can be avoided.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
