Keppra-new dose, how long until effective

[u/fj4131]

I had my first grand mal seizure in 2014. Diagnosed epileptic and put on Keppra. My normal dose of Keppra is 750 mg 2x/day. I had another grand mal seizure the other day- my first in 12 years. I am also 3 months post partum, so my doctor thinks my dose wasn’t high enough mixed with post partum hormones and that’s why I had one. Doctor is having me take 750 mg 3x/day now. I’m now on day 5 of this dosage. When can I expect the medication to fully get in my system? Is it immediate or does it take a few weeks?

I used to never worry about my epilepsy. It was so well controlled, but now after having 2 kids under the age of 2, I’m so scared to be alone with them now. I was holding my new baby the other day when I had my seizure. Thankfully he’s ok, but I can’t help but worry about that now. Any words of wisdom, comfort, or advice is also appreciated! I think I’ll feel a bit more comfortable when the medication is in my system longer!
