Tics coming off seizure meds

My son is 11 years old and has been seizure free for 3 years. He is on Lamictal and Keppra. We decided with the doctor to wean him off the Keppra. We will be finished weaning tomorrow. About a week ago, he started a tic of clearing his throat. Today, he started a facial tic of raising his eyebrows, flaring his nostrils and pursing his lips. Are these tics a form of seizure? Are they a side effect of coming off the Keppra? Will they go away? Any insight would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Jenny

My daughter is on Keppra too.  A  couple of months ago we tried to wean her off from Keppra because of some of the side effects.  She had the same results and her neurologist put her back on her medicine.  She was only  half way weaned off when she stated to have her tics and what looked like to me absence seizures.  Her  neurologist said  they could be the start of full blown seizures.  So maybe you should call your doctor to see what he thinks.
