Do Keppra And Oxcarbazepine Cause Fatigue And Behavioural Changes?

Thank you for your help. I have a granddaughter 25 yo with seizures from meningitis. Her behaviors have changed some and were interested in information on Kepra and Oxcarbazepine- not sure how to spell. Would tiredness and behavior changes be consistent with these meds.
