keppra side effects

I'm switching from Dilantin to Keppra XR. I'm currently on 1500 mg of KeppraXR and 350 mg of Dilantin. I see my neurologist in 4 days to see how I'm tolerating KeppraXR and hopefully start to decrease the Dilantin dose. Ever since I've reached the higher dosage of Keppra I've felt super...

Hi guys I just had a seizure this weekend on the way to my grandparents house for Easter dinner. Luckily I was not driving but I went to the hospital and they diagnosed it as a grand mal seizure. I went to get an eeg and the results came back normal as well. Now they started me on keppra and I...

Just wondering if my extreme fear of life was due to meds or if it is just another problem. the reason I think it may be the meds is because they are irrational fears. I dont even go outside to get the mail for fear of dogs. I am jumpy about everything. I have been dealing with debilitating...

Has anyone else here experienced itching as a side effect of Keppra? I started scratching my legs/arms all the time once I started taking Keppra.
