Re: [epilepsy] OMG...Keppra insomnia...how much longer????!!!!!

My doc combined keppra with clonazepam/klonopin + some have found this to make them tired. It also makes the keppra work better. Just one combo I' e heard of though.

So my insomnia has really kicked into gear after 2 weeks. I am getting about 3 hours of sleep a night--if I'm lucky. Thank God, even though my son has to get on his bus for Extended School Year (special ed summer school) at 6:45, I can go back to bed, but I'm afraid to sleep later than 9:30 or so. I am completely convinced the Keppra is working, though, because I have certainly lost enough sleep to induce a sz...or ten.
 
How much longer should I deal with this before I tell my doctor? The pharm said I should give the 1500 mg dose (my max dose) a week. I'm in my third day with it. Is this realistic??
