Hi,
I understand your concern and would explain that your symptoms could be related to a thyroid dysfunction. I would recommend you to check you thyroid hormone levels. You may need to optimize Synthroid dose. A new EEG and brain CT scan for follow up would help exclude possible seizures and the need for higher doses of Keppra (the actual dose that you are taking is a low dose).
Hope to have been helpful. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Kind regards,
Dr. Aida
