I am constantly tired but have trouble keeping a regular sleep pattern, mostly I can't fall asleep at night no matter how tired I am. I've been on Keppra XR for a year now and I still can't handle how tired this drug makes me on a daily basis.

Felt like I had a CAP on my head that was WAY TOO SMALL for me. Reluctantly, Dr. reduced amount to 500 mg, for 1 week now. Have headaches, less severe, every day. Even now. I think STOPPING this ...

I think STOPPING this medication is the best idea. Seizures were minimal, headaches ARE daily.
