I'm doing pretty well on keppra so far. I have only had one seizure since starting it. i have been very very cold though.Has anyone else had that kind of side effect?
 
Honestly, as I don't take keppra, no. But you might also try checking your blood sugar level. When my blood sugar drops, my fingers and feet go cold.
 
Thankyou for the site, it is not listed as a side effect. My blood sugar was tested not to long ago,it was normal.
 
Hmmm...have you had your thyroid level checked recently? If your thyroid levels are low, it can cause you to feel fatigued, feel cold, and for your hair to start falling out. I was a borderline case. My thyroid levels were high enough to be read as normal, yet low enough to cause the symptoms. The only way they found it, was by having me take my temp @ my armpit for 5 days in a row before getting out of bed, and then writing down the temps.
