Yes. I had this issue for a few months. I started it then had a three month follow up. after that I was a lot better then I was but to get to the point I'm at now you're looking at 5 months minimum and that's if everything goes well.
Keppra will make you feel exhausted for a while. Then you wish you were exhausted to control the anger you start showing.
I have been taking Keppra since 2018 and the first few weeks it made me really tired. Now, my body has adjusted to it and I don't feel that tired feeling but it has continroled my seizure very well.
@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member , In 2019 I took Keppra for about 3 months & it made me so tired that I had to take a nap every day & eventually I started having trouble sleeping at night & so I got off it. I never experienced the Keppra Rage. Each medication can affect everyone differently. If y’all feel your son has given the medication enough time & he’s not comfortable with it, let his doctor know. I know after I have a seizure, I’m usually very weak & tired. So, if your son is really tired after a seizure, that’s usually due to the seizure itself. Good luck. Welcome to the site. Take care.

Common side effects that can contribute to that "slow motion" feeling include:
- Drowsiness
- Fatigue and weakness
- Dizziness
- Irritability or Show Full Answer
