My cousin is currently on Keppra for seizure disorder. While also being addicted to Perc 30s, they want to take suboxone to help them get off the percs. I know he needs to consult a doctor but is there anyone else in this situation or know if the subox would have an adverse affect with the Keppra? Please reply. thanks.
 
I'm no doctor but I doubt it... those drugs don't seem to be related. I think there's a list somewhere of drugs that interact with opiates (agonize/antagonize/synergize/etc).
 
I'm on Keppra for epilepsy and currently taking Suboxone as well..I'm fairly certain there are no negative interactions. There are risks with everything, but I think this combination is probably pretty safe. Here:

"Interactions Checker" says: Moderate.

"MONITOR: Central nervous system- and/or respiratory-depressant effects may be additively or synergistically increased in patients taking multiple drugs that cause these effects, especially in elderly or debilitated patients.

MANAGEMENT: During concomitant use of these drugs, patients should be monitored for potentially excessive or prolonged CNS and respiratory depression. Ambulatory patients should be counseled to avoid hazardous activities requiring mental alertness and motor coordination until they know how these agents affect them, and to notify their physician if they experience excessive or prolonged CNS effects that interfere with their normal activities."
