Hey, Ron.
You may have the same problem I do. I started Keppra 2 months ago and JUST found out TODAY--lo and behold--that my thyroid levels are SKY-HIGH. I have been treated for hypothyroid for 2 years and suddenly started having several signs of suspected hyperthyroid after going onto Keppra. Now my endo says I may be able to get off the thyroid med completely because Keppra has given me complete sz control for the first time EVER, and I refuse to stop taking it. (I am 43 in 2 months, always had epi.) Even someone whose thyroid is believed to be normal can have this problem from epi meds. I have not taken Lamictal, but it's worth checking into.
Good luck!
LIZARD :)

I have a terrible time getting to sleep at night even without any caffeine during the day. I am on lamictal (Lamotrigine- generic lamictal) 150 mg twice a day and Gabapentin 600 mg at night and I can not get to sleep. I have tried Melatonin and this doesn't help either.
Are my meds preventing me? Please HELP.
thanks- Ron
