Brief Answer:
No serious side effects are expected.

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for posting your query.

I am Dr Sudhir Kumar, Neurologist, and would try my best to help you.

I have noted your details. Based on this, I would like to reassure you that keppra is one of the safest anti-epileptic drugs. 2000 mg of Keppra would not result in any serious side effects. You can skip today's night dose and start your usual dose of Keppra from tomorrow.

I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.

Wishing you good health,
