Keppra 500 mg should not be stopped suddenly, even after 10 months of treatment. The need to continue or taper depends on seizure control and medical history. Consult your doctor before making any changes to avoid seizure recurrence.

Consult Your Neurologist:
- Discuss your seizure control and any side effects with your doctor before making changes to your medication.
Seizure Control:
- If you have been seizure-free, your doctor might consider tapering the medication. This decision is personalized.
Risks of Stopping Medication:
- Do not stop Keppra abruptly, as it can increase seizure risk. Any changes should be supervised by a healthcare professional.
Monitoring and Follow-Up:
- Regular follow-up and possibly EEG or other tests may be recommended to guide treatment decisions.
Always discuss medication changes with your healthcare provider to ensure safe and effective epilepsy management.
