Hello, @frosty27, and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Thanks for sharing about your recent epilepsy diagnosis and the levetiracetam (Keppra) you are taking. I moved your post here to this discussion so that you can meet others who are living with epilepsy.

I'm guessing members here can tell you if your experience having side effects the first few weeks of taking levetiracetam (Keppra) also occurred in their cases, and hoping they also have some input for you related to the tingling sensation on the right side of your head at times. Please meet @jakedduck1 @crstyday40 @ryman @robertjr @dawn_giacabazi @bonnieh218.

Did your neurologist have a theory on the tingling sensation? If so, what did he or she think it might be?

My neurologist asked if I got any type of headache after the tingling sensation as she thought it could be a migraine aura. I seldom get a headache after the episode and I rarely had headaches prior to the seizure. Initially I got a headache within an hour or so of taking the Keppra but that has subsided.
