Keppra: what can you tell me about it

[HOGFAN]

four years ago I had an intracerebral hemorrhage. I was okay until last year when I had a seizure. No meds. I had another one on Friday and am now on Keppra. I have noticed that it makes me pretty tired. Great for bedtime, not so much anytime else. I am also a little weepy and maybe slightly nauseated.
wondering when this will clear up, or if it will. thanks

nausea, sleepyness/drowsyness, and tiredness/fatigue are side effects of keppra.

This board suggests waiting a while to see if the side effects go away. They say to give yourself some time for your body to adjust but do watch for keppra rage and suicidal tendencies which are rare but not good.
