Odd dreams and not getting my rest on Keppra

Mon, 08/01/2016 - 17:46
Hi all, I've been on 500mg Keppra XR for about two months now. After the initial few days, I started having really odd dreams which mess with my sleep. It's like one of those dreams where you are trying to run away from something and you can't, there is a feeling of impending doom all night. I tried taking the pill in the morning instead of the evening and it didn't make a difference. Taking 100mg of B6 daily as recommended to supplement. Has anyone else had such a side effect? Any tips? Thanks!
