Hi, @jillian18 - I wanted to add my welcome to @ethanmcconkey's and @dawn_giacabazi's. I appreciate the input @dawn_giacabazi has provided, as someone who has experienced nocturnal seizures personally.
I'd also like to invite a few additional members into the conversation who have talked about nighttime seizures and may have some thoughts on these seizures waking you up nightly and where you might go for medical help, like @sarahlou @matermiracle @jakedduck1 @sall @macbeth.
@jillian18 - you mentioned starting levetiracetam (Keppra) and feeling worse than before. What symptoms are you experiencing since starting this medication?

Constant flashes in my eyes and can’t focus on anything. Seizure patterns have changed also.

I started Keppra a little over a week ago and the seizures are different as I’m awake instead of being grand mal seizures. I am set to do a video EEG in January. I am heading to Dr today to go over what changes I have experienced this weekend. Keep seeing flashes and can’t focus. I feel like I try to look at something but my head is pulling the other direction if that makes sense. I have a 4 month old, 3 & 6 yr old so it’s not something I can live with and deal with until January.
