I am a female, 60 yrs. old and had a motorcycle accident 6 days ago. I was medivaced to LR, AR to UAMS. One of the drugs I was prescribed was Keppra for seizures. Is this necessary? It seems to have several severe side effects. I think it is making me very dizzy and sleepy. I have been on it for several days now.

Good day and thank you for posting this question. Keppra can cause dizziness and feeling sleepy. It is necessary for treating seizures. If I were your doctor I would reduce the dosage of the Keppra and if you are still feeling dizzy and sleepy I will tell you to stop it and give another drug for your seizures. Kindly discuss with your doctor.
I hope it helps.
Thank you.
