<s>[INST] i believe that if fainted from low bp.  i hit my head, causing multiple lacerations, and then had a seizure.  4 days later i had another seizure.  i was started on keppra 500mg twice a day.  no more seizures in 4 months.  how will i know when i can get off this medicine.  i dont like the side effects, but have been told they are less then many ani-sizure medicines. [/INST] Dear Kendra is one of the best treatment for epilepsy because it has less side effects than any other anti-epileptic Chat Doctor. Anyway the decision to stop taking medication is on your neurologist and It's decided if no seizure occurs for 3 years, at least 2 and if EEG is normal. In my opinion 1000 mg is a small dosage so you don't have nothing to worry! Wish you all the best, don't hesitate to contact for further questions. </s>
