Ai suggestions were correct. also be supportive no matter how she is feeling or acting especially as her medication is being increaed. it does take some time for her body to adjust to the increases of keppra. your doctor may add an additional med along with keppra which can help to control her seizures.
I went through this for many years but my seizures are very much after control. I only have on last year and I am back to myself before the seizures started. Yes, my anti seizure and high blood pressure meds cause me to feel tired but I still get done what I need to get done. I rest when I need to but t hen again your daughter is prehaps much younger than me. Hang in there 😁
John in my experience with anti epileptic drugs most of them will have the potential fatigue that may happen. I’ve been on keppra for over 20 yrs or so and told my neurologist about it as well and nothing was done. I will say most mornings it takes me awhile to get woken up as well.
Constant AC can be a bother. If you are working and moving at least for me

I take b6 b 12 and vitamin d with my keppra. along with a second anti seizure med. It does help me not feel so tired. every day is different to me because i am also affect by the weather.
@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member If you don't get enough water it lowers basically everything. B6 is meant to help reduce side effects better with the help of water but and its a big if. 1. Its still being studied to this day to see just how effective this is so its not 100 % proven 2. It doesn't work for everyone. So people have added B6 for Keppra and had no improvement.
