Hey all. Well I was put on Keppra, Generic form, in late November. I have not been myself since. I told my doc this and he told me to try to wait it out. I did, I was feeling okay, I guess, but still feeling down, not myself. I was becoming very short with people, everything was bothering my now, and I mean everything! I have become isolated, not wanting to be around anyone and just seriously hating life. I have a great life, one I should be so proud and thankful for but for some reason all I have been feeling are negative bad feelings, resentment towards everything and everyone, taking it all deeply to the heart to the point of where I seriously have been having thoughts of not wanting to live anymore. This last Sunday, I was at a family party and flipped out on my mom. She was just joking with me, which we all in my family will do. I have a large family, brothers and sisters, plus their new kids and all that, Normally I love it! Anyway, I flipped out on my mom, my husband saw it and was suprised. This entire week I have been down, I haven't been able to work, I ended up leaving work the other day and decided to write my feelings down, which can sometimes help, just get it off my chest. Anyways, I hadn't thrown it away yet and my husband saw it and read it. Broke his heart and I had a breakdown and went in to see my dr. He finally saw me and what was going on, I could not stop crying. He finally told me to stop taking the Keppra(generic vers), He started me on Dilantin about a month ago so he said I should be okay to just stop the Keppra.
What I was wondering is, how long will these feelings stay? Will they go away pretty soon, will I notice a change in the way I am feeling? I am not expecting right away results but I today again was unable to work, I couldn't stop crying this morning. This uncontrollable crying is terrible. Has anyone ever felt this way and gotten off? IF so, how long until you felt better? Or can this be long term for me now? Am I all of the sudden become a depressed person? I am usually a happy go lucky girl who finds good in everything. I just want to be ME again.. I am praying it is the meds that hame made me this horrible person who I have become. If not, I don't know what to do..
