I have bad, vivid nightmares. Are these related to my anticonvulsant? Or my se
izures?

Not sure about seizure, but AEDs can have the side effect of making you ( me ) have strange dreams . I’ve been on one that made me dream 2-4 dreams a night

Horror or scary movies don't bother me, but they aren't my genre, as I usually watch comedies or dramas. I haven't had nightmares or seizures in years, then had a nocturnal seizure 2 wks ago, and then last night a vivid nightmare. Woke me up. When I got back to sleep I went right back into the same dream. I've been watching comedies, sitcoms, and maybe one funny Christmas movie. I really can't link it to anything unless it's my new med the neurologist added, Keppra. Very sedating.
