Advice & Tips
In the beginning this med made me very tired as I was having to take it 3 times daily morn, Noon, and night. Later we discovered actually I did by testing on my own how long I could stretch the doses for convenience. I stretched them from morn to late afternoon and then again to bedtime. Now I take them only in the morning and evening. I am less tired and more alert it helps me sleep better at night. I have gotten used to the AM dose and it does not bother me any more. I added a cup of coffee or coke to my AM routine and helps out a great deal.

Advice & Tips
I have tried almost every anti-seizure control medicene over my lifetime and the one thing I have noticed is that the time release types work best for me. I am never happy with the side-effects of any of them but Keppra so far seems to have the fewest and most mild of any of them I have experienced.
