The fatigue could very well be because of the change in meds. Whenever I switch AEDs, I'm always irritable and fatigued. I don't really have an answer for how you can stop the fatigue or what you should do for it. It's just something I've learned to accept, along with epilepsy in general. I would speak to a neurologist about it and let him/her know exactly how bad the fatigue, irritability, and/or depression is. But for me, it's just another characteristic of epilepsy.

What to do in someone that this goes on daily with?
Is on Keppra (tapering off), Topomax (will increase once off Keppra),
Prozac and Abilify. Maxalt as needed for migraines.

It's common for people with epilepsy to have periods of fatigue and/or mild
depression. Take caution though. This fatigue may be your body telling you
that a seizure could happen soon. Try taking a nap.

Hi
I am curious about my epilepsy. At the moment I am feeling
quite flat, no energy, tired, not irritable but I just feel
not quite myself. Is this common with epilepsy? I don't
think I've had a fit but I just can't concentrate and when I
am typing I am making lots of mistakes. I'm not quite sure
what's going on. It could be because I've been out in the
sun quite a bit, don't know.
Regards
Adrien

For about 3 days my daughter (2), whenever she wakes up, she
starts shaking. She has acted like that before after a
seizure. Is there any type of epilepsy machine, that she can
wear while asleep? I'm just so worried about her, and I
don't think the Tegretol is working anymore.
