My doctor has ramped me up to 2000mg of Keppra daily in addition to my600mg of lamictal. The moodiness and tiredness I first expierenced with the Keppraare back just in time for the holidays. He said I could increase my lamictal dose instead of the Keppra but I would have more side effects, I doubt this. Does anyone have any thoughts or advice, thanks.
Increased Keppra and moodiness.

That is what I am feeling after a couple of weeks of this lamictal never gave me side effects this bad. I feel like little things that normally I would brush off tick me off and make me argumemtive with the people around me which is not part of my personality, my wife has commented a lot ONI this.
Yes, me and my wife have gotten into some arguments about relatively minor things maybe it is holiday stress and the Keppra. 1200mg of lamictal seems like a lot it is great you tolerate that well do you ever have short term memory issues I am not sure if that is related to either of those drugs but read that it might be a side effect. thanks!
