What Is The Cause Of Seizure When On Keppra?

MY son, 25, has been having tonic clonic seizures since age 15. Epilim helped but then he had a seizure whilst driving. Visited Mayo Clinic who advised surgery not appropriate. Put him on Keppra which helped for a while. Seizures started again - found new neurologist who prescribed Klonosipan which improved condition but he has started seizures again. Career curtailed and all usual downside problems. This week he had wisdom teeth removed and is recovering. It occurred to me that maybe that was the cause all along and of course I am praying for a miracle. Is there any chance the removal of teeth may cure problem. Elizabeth Chappell

Epiilepsy has no relation with wisdom teeth. Keep under treatment of one neurologist. Donot change the drug frequently. It is achronic disease may requered therapy for a very long time.
