What Causes Balance Issues While On Keppra?

I have had absence epilepsy for 50 years with a 10 year period of no seizures I had been taking tegretol when the seizures stopped. When they started again I began taking Keppra. Since I have experienced loss of balance, loss of coordination , extreme muscle weakness and fatigue. Is there a anti-epileptic drug with lesser side effects?
