@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member he is 10... right? i think he is reaching puberty. when i googled Topiramate side effects i get nothing about up all night and sleeping all day. it dose the opposite... topiamate is tiredness and sleepiness. i googled keppra side effects and withdrawals, and i got nothing but keppra rage. one of the puberty changes is hunger and tiredness at odd times. tell your gf about that one.
