Hi Everyone,

My daughter has been experiencing myoclonic jerks when she is sleep deprived. We
discovered this after picking her up from a sleepover. She is 14. A CAT scan and
blood work came back fine. An eeg came back abnormal. The neurologist wants to
put her on Keppra XR. She has not had a seizure yet. Is it absolutely necessary
for her to be on medication? I would greatly appreciate advice. My daughter has
always been a healthy child. We do not have a family history of epilepsy, so
this is all very new and scary to us.
