She started getting extremely tired and dizzy at school - the school actually phoned me to come and fetch her. Tuesday I kept her at home, and on Wednesday she went back to school… read more
A high keppra level makes me incredibly tired and dizzy. To counteract the dizziness, I load up on electrolytes usually by drinking Gatorade or electrolyte enhanced water.

It seems to work better than Tegretol or it's generic. I take 200mg. twice a day. Hint: I get mine through "Bridges to Access" for free. I'm on disability.
Yes. It’s one of the many side effects. This is already a fairly high dose, but if it’s increased, it can cause irritability or verbal aggression. See if the doctor tries to increase Keppra, that there’s other options, focusing on the kind of seizure.
