Is it epilepsy ?
Tue, 07/07/2015 - 21:21Hi im 19 and had my first seizure when i was five but my mom never told me anythinq about it. On april 29, 2014 i had just woken up and was walking to the kitchen when my mother in law says i just fell and started shaking and drowling. I was refered to a neuro but he didnt start me on meds he did send me to get eegs done every 3 months but everything came back normal. On july 5, 2015 i had just woken up and was laying in bed when i fell off the bed and my husband says i had another seizure. I went with a new neuro who started me on keppra 100mg twice daily and lamotrigine 25mg once daily. The keppra does make me really dizzy and make me feel really drowsy. Im wondering if what i have is epelepsy or what do i have noone in my family has anything like this ?

Keppra makes me feel sleepy. Not dizzy but tired all of the time.
