Yes. Many AED medications have the side effects of making you tired and drowsy .

Several different medications can make you sleepy. I stopped taking mysoline because I couldn't stay awake at school when I took it.

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member , Absolutely! But everyone reacts differently to each medication. Some people might not have any problems with the side effects but others might have react to one of the side effects of tiredness. I took Keppra in 2019 for about 3 months & it made me so tired that I had to take a nap every day & eventually I started having trouble sleeping & so I got off it. If you ever begin to have side effects of a medication that don’t go away & you’re not comfortable with, then talk to your doctor & let them know what’s going on & if necessary maybe they can find a different medication. Good luck & Welcome to the site. Your friend in Texas, Becky
