Hi, I am very new to this forum, my 7 yr old son was diagnosed with Epilepsy about 3 weeks ago and we have started on Keppra. It seems that it is interrupting his sleep cycle, he is falling asleep okay but wakes up extremely early, as a result he is tired at school and over all being very moody, simply not getting enough sleep. The doctor told us to give him Keppra earlier in the day, when he gets home from school, I am not sure I understand this. Won't he now wake even earlier? She has also asked us to give him B6, 100 mg a day, she said this may help with behavior. This is the start of what I expect to be a difficult journey, I am sleepless and scared, waiting for the other shoe to fall, all of the time. His seizures have only happened at night so night time all of our anxiety levels are raised a bit. Any info, suggestions or help is greatly appreciated.
