Do you hate Keppra because of significant side effects or isn't it effective?
I imagine your nocturnals are Tonic-Clonic. Nocturnal seizures are a risk factor of a very seri but fortunately rare Epilepsy condition. You might want to invest in an anti-suffocation pillow. How do you know your having these seizures? Do you remember them or does some one tell you or perhaps blood on your pillow from a bitten tongue and or cheek? Do you only have one, once a year? There are many drug options to choose from and the side effects will be apparent quickly but if the drug if effective e a long process, especially if the alternative to Keppra doesn't control the seizure.
I suggest if you take a generic drug that you ALWAYS get it from the same manufacturer. Don't switch from brand to generic or vs verse. Stanford University did a study that such actions could result in increased seizures. This isn't common but it happened to me.
If your having side effect problems extended-release medications may help.
You might want to ask your doctor about Carbamazepine (Tegretol or Carbatrol)
When I switched to extended-release Carbatrol which is a brand-name drug my seizures stopped.
Wishing you the best.
Take care,
Jake.
