Hi. My husband has seizures brought on by a BP spike during a stent placement. Now he is on Keppra but has a seizure even so every 6-8 weeks. He struggles physically somewhat after each seizure.

I have looked into alternatives to the Keppra, but have found nothing yet.

Are there alternatives to pharmaceuticals that will keep him seizure-free?

I have tried coconut oil daily (had seizure), CBD oil (had seizure while on that). MSM (had seizure while on that), NAC (had seizure while taking that). Nothing seems to help except the Keppra, but this brings with it ataxia and he gets so tired and lethargic if I give him more to prevent another seizure, I hate seeing him in that state.

Can you recommend anything else to keep him seizure-free? He is 83 and in good health. Thanks. Sorry to put this in another conversation.
