No: Lightheaded is usually a sensation of faintness, or often dizziness . Occasionally the sensation of passing out can be called lightheaded. Keppra (levetiracetam) is an anti epileptic drug used to prevent seizures occasionally used to treat neuropathic pain. If you are on Keppra (levetiracetam) talk to your dr. About the sensations you are having to see if they want to change the drug or dose.
