I've been on Kepra for around 6 months now and it makes me really drowsy throughout the day, my doctor said it's a side effect that is normal but will eventually go away the longer you've been on it so I'm hoping that it will.  I was prescribed 1500mg a day.  Also make sure you never miss a dose! I made that mistake and ended up having 2 seizures in one night.

HI

I was recently put on Keppra about 3 wks ago but put on Keppra XR last sat. I have a horrible attitude, and get sad on and off. The medication has worked wonders for my morning commute. I am no longer disoriented and I can actually see the real size of my eyes being that I can open them well without the light bothering me. I would really like to stick with keppra xr but if this irritiability, and depression persist I have to ask for a change.
