Re: [epilepsy] Dose reduction and Benadryl = sleep...I hope!

 

Liz,

Some nights a few months ago, I guess it was the Keppra that kept from
getting any sleep. I started getting everything without caffeine in it and
it seemed to help some. I hope you can get your medicine adjusted and start
getting your sleep. When I go to bed with something on my mind I can't
sleep, but most of the time I get enough sleep to make it through. Talk to
you later. Take care.
