STOKE-ON-TRENT

My partner is 38 he is on keppra 1000mg a day I am thinking this maybe lowers his fertility and affects his sex drive or ability to have sex even .What is the scientific evidence that keppra causes this type of problem? Any advice on this off anyone taking keppra please?..

My 20 year old daughter suffers from regular migraines and sensitivity to light with eyes, when she was at high School she had eye blackouts fainting. I took her to see the doctors many times Who diagnosed low blood pressure and anemia. Recently she passed out again and had migraines every day for weeks, this was blamed on the hormone pill and told to stop it, but I am starting to wonder if she has invisible epilepsy now.
I do not know much about that type of epilepsy to be honest.

Thanks for your replies. I have noticed he also has mood swings being on keppra to the point of us nearly breaking up because of the arguments since health pandemic as we both lost our Security work and spending a lot more time together in the house.he gets frustrated when he cannot earn money but takes his anger out on me, it gets exhausting dealing with that side and I am wanting him to change his medication as has too many side effects on him Personality wise.

I’m on the same amount of keppra as your husband. Sex drive is opposite for me though-if you know what I mean haha. But I do get VERY MOODY and a lot of the time I just don’t want to be around people because of “kepprage”- so that could play a part in it?
