If feeling fatigue is all you have from Keppra you are not doing bad. It will produce anger, mood swings all the time, headaches, loss of appetite and double vision to name a few. When i used to take it i had only 6 side effects with anger and mood swings leading the way. If you still feel tired after next week, i suggest you talk to your doctor and ask for another drug. Take care.
Hi Everyone,
How long do the Keppra side effects last? I took it for 2 weeks and started having increased seizure activity so they increased it to 750mg, twice a day and I can barely function. I am still working, but I am barely hanging on. I have been taking Keppra for a total of 4 weeks now. I feel weak, tired, off-ill at times. Loss of appetite but increased in the morning (not pregnant). I'm uncoordinated. I feel so unlike me, that I'm not even excited for Christmas and I'm like Cindy-Lou Who lol! Does this get better? I see my Neurologist in 4 weeks and will defiantly mention it, or should I mention it sooner?
Thank you all.

I can relate!!!
My husband takes 3750mg daily and he is always tired. On top of that he has a horrible time shutting his brain down to sleep, he is also prone to headaches and suffers from depression. He has been on Keppra for around 19 years. I cannot say if the medication is causing the issue because he is on many for other conditions, sometimes I feel like a pharmacy. The biggest thing is if you are concerned and it doesn't let up within a few weeks talk to your doctor
I take 2000mg each day and I can definitely say that I feel that way too sometimes. I thought that it was an unusual thing to be feeling that way so I'm glad that I'm not the only one feeling that way.
