Ok on this Keppra miracle drug so far I am sleepy all the time and wasn't really complaining about that was getting some muscle cramps but they left and haven't been back but today I wake up and I can't see...wait no let me explain that I can see but I have double vision VERY annoying...this took too long to write so I am not saying anything else except will you guys please tell me WHATS NEXT????
Thanks :))
 
I know what you mean. I've been taking lamictal for five months and once my dose got high enough my vision was like you describe. Yes, very annoying. That started about 2 1/2 months ago. It still isn't normal, but it's a lot better. Often I don't even notice it, especially for distance. It's been getting gradually better, so I'm hoping that after a while, it'll go away. But if it stays as it is now, I can live with it. I know it's different for everyone, and Keppra is different from Lamictal. Have you been on Keppra for a long time?
 
It can take a few days for the body to adjust/acclimate to a new AED.

Do you have the double vision when just opening your eyes while still in the prone position, or when you first sit up?
 
OK, how

long have you been on it???

When I was on Keppra, and started getting the TRIPLE vision (double vision is just as bad, I think) that's when I went OFF it. However, things were rotating, too.

CALL YOUR DOCTOR NOW!!!!
