I personally feel like the fatigue us different for every patient ...it has to do with the severity of their epilepsy and seizures, their age, the medications they are taking, their sleep habits, their eating habits and their dau to day activities...I know forme, I have my food days and my bad days and my bad days are usually really bad and I'm out of commission for the entire day...my Keppra also makes me really tired and I'm on a high does so that makes it worse. ..ibtry to space out what gas to be done at my house as to not get too tired all in one day because once you get fatigued, it takes a few days to recover from that...but yeah, it's definitely a combination of different things and every person is unique as to their different things...
