diagnosed with a grade 3 malignant brain tumor 2 weeks ago.
Anaplastic Astrocytoma. I have seen the NeuroOncologist and am waiting
on a surgery date. I was started on Keppra and took my first dose
today. Has anyone been on this medication? My first dose knocked me
out and I have felt drugged all day. I was wondering how anyone else
has had a similiar reaction.
