Forgot to take keppra

I had surgery on 2/8 and last night for the first time I forgot to take my p.m. dosage of keppra. Has this happened to anyone? If so, anything to worry about. I've never had a seizure. Waiting for neurologist's office to open before I ask them. Thank you!

That's happened to me several times & fortunately I've been ok with NO seizures, taking the next dosage as scheduled. To my knowledge when this happens to me, I shouldn't & don't 'double up' on the missed dosage, but this is important to address with your drs., since we're all different. :)

Thank you. I'm going to ask him about tapering me off now that I forgot the p.m. one. I have 20 minutes before they open. I appreciate your reply. Blessings!

Your pharmacist should have some guidance as well, if they are easier to get ahold of.

Typically, if you only miss it by a few hours, I think they want you to take it. If it's a complete miss, don't double dose on the next one.

Probably not a big deal.

I forget my dosage all the time! No real convulsions but sometimes I'll wake up with a headache...no idea what that means. Somehow I have an extra pill so apparently somewhere along the line I only took a half dose. I have no idea how that happened.

My doc said to continue the regular schedule and not to double up. I often times count my pills to make sure I didn’t miss any. :slight_smile: Look forward to getting off them.
