I thought I was crazy. I was put on this drug after one complex seizure four days after brain surgery. No prior history of seizures. Vivid wierd dreams, loss of appetite, sluggishness.

Comment:
I had been on Keppra and was moved to Keppra XR due to irritability and sleepiness. I broke out in hives and appear to be allergic to the XR version.
