A member asked:

Ive been weighing off keppra (levetiracetam) and since ive been on a very small dosage i been having a hard time sleeping is this normal and what can i do please help?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Seizures: Well need some more information. You must have a seizure history so I would assume if you are coming off of Keira you are taking another medication for your seizures ???? Now you should not be having the symtoms you are having. So what else is going on with you?
