How Long Does It Take For Medication Levels To Get Back To Normal?
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

After a video eeg, how long does it take before medicine levels are back to normal? My husband is freaking out about it. I just want to go ahead and get it done and be done with it. Any comments would be appreciated. Especially good ones.

Sometimes, they will just give u a loading dose. A loading dose is to get up to a therapeutic level which you were at before. But im not sure if newer meds work that way, either way all will b fine.

It honestly depends on the meds, your dosage and how low your levels are. I take tegretol and keppra. Tegretol 500mg at night and keppra 2xs a day at 500mg each. If my levels are low it takes about 2 weeks for mine to get back to normal.
