Blood pressure with Keppra or Neurontin

Do Keppra or Neurotin cause an elevation in blood pressure?

I do think that keppra changes the autonomic nervous system...which includes blood pressure controls.   My blood pressure dropped considerably.   I think you have to have a problem in that area to begin with though.  I dont think it causes the problem, just seriously intensifies it
