My husband was put on this medication after one post stroke seizure. All he did when he was on it was sleep. I felt like I was a levetiracetam widow because there was no conversation  no going anywhere and basically nothing from him because when he wasn't sleeping in bed, he was asleep in his chair and it became an almost 24 hour a day routine for him  He already suffers from depression and this medication made matters worse

Sorry to hear of your husbands side effects.  Have you brought it to the attention of his Neurologist or Specialist Epilepsy Dr? Perhaps the Dr can look into altering the dose or another treatment with fewer side effects.

I've been on Vimpat for the last 8 months... This also knocks me out all day then I suffer from insomnia at night! Too many side effects also. I'm looking for another one to try, but not sure of the one above. Any thoughts or feedback on other side effects it has?

I was on this drug for fourteen and a half years.  For some it works, for others, it doesn't!  It did not work for me!  I had the horrendous Keppra rage for the whole time whilst on it and since they have taken me off it, I am definitely better.  I was not in control of my own self and actions - the medication was in control!   I used to be shouting, throwing things or hitting out involuntarily at people!  People were scared of me and wanted nothing to do with me!  My personal experience is that I would rather stay off a second drug than have to take that again!  It was torment! And all due to the Keppra!  The only good thing about it was that it was the easiest drug to stop!  Taken off it within eight weeks and changed for the better after another 3 months - people saw a difference in me!

My husband has been put on levetiracetam after suffering from his first seizure in his life. The specialist who put him on it said the seizure was due to a stroke he had two years ago and that he needs the medication to prevent any further seizures. The medication has completely knocked my husband out and when he is awake he's like a zombie
