Keppra and HEADACHES???? Anyone else????

I'm taking Keppra XR twice daily for 11 months and haven't had the first headache, but everyone responds differently.  Are you taking any add'l meds that could be interacting with your Keppra?

My partner was also just diagnosed with primary generalized seizures in November. They put her on 1000mg Keppra XR once a day. At first we thought - no way this drug's side affects are too much - sleeping all the time, zombie, headaches, memory loss - but it turned out 90% of that was due to her coming off some pretty strong anti-depressants.  A month later, with all of the anti-depressants out of her system, we could see that the Keppra was effective but not enough, so they upped her dose to 3000mg a day.  We were scared to have her take so much at first becasue of what we went through on the first round, but the memory loss, zombie effect did not happen this time.  Now she is 2 weeks on the new level and her only complaint is the headaches.  She has determined there are two types - one is the typical migrain that comes along with the seizure activity and that one is fairly controlable with over the counter migrain med - excedrin for migrains.  The other headaches she describes are not helped by the migrain med at all.  She explains it like this - Keppra is a barrier that is keeping her seizures from coming to the surface but the seizure activity in her brain keeps pushing against the barrier and she feels it as an incredible pressure all over her skull.  It seems to make her tired after days of fighting it, which increases the activity in her brain and repeats the cycle all over.  She's going to give it another month to see if she adjusts to it any better.  Having the seizures stopped is a relief and she says she could live with her head in a vice if she had too.  Hang in there and stay balanced is the motto we are living by.
