Make sure that you are eating and drinking when you are taking the medicines. That is something I learned when I first started medicines. My stomach did not like the empty stomach option. Also drinking lots of liquid helps too.

If the dizziness is lasting all day then id talk to your doctor. If it's lasting only when you take your medication and fades that is likely normal. Most anticonvulsant medications cause dizziness for a short period of time so if you time your meds correctly and start taking multi vitamins that can help, alot of anticonvulsants suck alot of nutrients out of the body and the dizzy feeling or burning sensation in the nose some get is from dehydration and lack of nutrients. So stay hydrated, keep those meds timed and get some vitamins 😁 electrolyte packs are great as well!

I did. I'm now on Keppra for 2 weeks. The dizzy side effects are a little uncomfortable....but the alternative is worse. Any suggestions?

Have you spoken to a doctor about this? Sometimes there is a need to start medicines and you were just lucky to have come this far before the seizures happened.
