What Causes Excess Fatigue While On Keppra For Seizures In A Person With Dementia?
I have a 93 yr. old mother with dementia in a nursing home. She had a seizure a week ago and was put on 250mg. keppra twice a day, she takes a low dose of syroquill in the evenings. I have notice she has become much more sleepy and lethargic since beginning the keppra. Is 500mg a day to much for her system.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, seizure it self cause the drawsiness and medicien also cause the same thing but it is nothhing to worry, if the symptom persist then it is better to see the doctor because of the age and then it should never be taken as granted hope this information helps
