Hummus and Headaches

So with my newly diagnosed epilepsy, I did what any person would do. Filled my prescription and suggested Gyro’s for lunch at a restaurant called The Continental in Kent. (Amazing food if you are ever by campus) I took my first pill 500 MG of Keppra, and washed it down with a coke. We spent about a half hour there, and by the end of the meal I start to get a light headed sensation. That feeling that you get when you stand up or sit down too fast. It not uncomfortable and I feel almost as though my focus is improved, like I am having an easy time holding a conversation. This feeling is quickly replaced by a head ache, and I notice that right around this time my eyes are doubling my vision at a distance. Everything close up is ok, but anything far and I just want to close my eyes, since this is the distance that my glasses correct I take them off. Might as well be blurry and not double I remember thinking. When I close my eyes they want to stay shut, and by the time we are driving home I feel as though I haven’t slept in two or three days. Not a feeling I am familiar with because I take medication to help me sleep. (this may or may not be because of the epilepsy that I take the sleeping med anyway) I sleep most of the night, and most of the next day I feel tired, two pills twice a day and no amount of coffee (another habit I have that I blame on disturbed sleep from seizures) seems to help.
