Starting Keppra

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭
Glen Campbell, PA

Just started taking Keppra for my complex partial seizures, in addition to the dilantin for my tonic clonic seizures. The Keppra seems to be causing some severe dizziness. Does this decrease with continued use? Any info would be appreciated. I have had seizures for over 40 years and it's nice to chat with others who understand the experience.

Keppra was the first medication they put me on. It made verry agressive, stressed etc.

I never had that problem with Keppra and I was put all the max dosage. I could be the combination of both Keppra and Dilantin. I did get headaches though for the first month or so.

Never had that problem with Keppra. Possible you are over medicated
