A question like that can only be answered by your doctor or possibly your local pharmacist. It would be important to know the dosage of Keppra you are on, the weight loss medications you are intending to take and how your epilepsy is and state of health generally, including your weight.

Medication can be used to minimise convulsive seizures but if one occurs the best cause of action is to help the casualty in to a position lying down where they can't harm themselves on anything and wait for the convulsions to subside. Monitor them closely. If the convulsions last for a period of more than 10 minutes, phone for emergency help. Most of the time, people will have medication to prevent the convulsions so they will have had them before so if they are able they may feel one coming on and be able to deal with it themselves.
