Brief Answer:
Yes ma'am, you have to

Detailed Answer:
Hello ma'am and welcome.

Thank you for writing to us.

I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help you within my capabilities. Neurontin (with the active ingredients gabapentin) is used to treat seizures and nerve pain. Keppra (with the active ingredients levetiracetam) is used to treat partial onset seizures and is mostly used in combination with other seizure-preventing medications (e.g. neurontin). So my answer is yes ma'am, you have to take both these drugs to help prevent seizures ma'am.

I hope you find my response both helpful and informative ma'am. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I would be more than happy to help.

Best wishes.
