Do some epilepsy drugs stabilize mood and stop seizures? Do we get a dual purpose from some epilepsy drugs?:ponde


Keppra seemed to give me mood swings and anxiety so my neuro has put me on tegretol it seems to have stopped the mood swings.

Depakote is prescribed as a mood stablizer as well as for seizure control.
 
Keppra and Mood/Anxiety

I'm glad I'm off keppra it works for some people but not me. Now I'm eating alot more than usual I hope this gets under control soom
 
I take Lamictal which is prescribed for both epilepsy and bi-polar; both of which I am lucky enough to have. I also take seroquel which is just for the BP and Keppra for the E.
 
maybe I should ask about Depakote. I just had my keppra dosage increase and i think i'm getting the keprage and depression as a result.

I was tempted to call the person whose helped me out the most today just to ask if they really liked me because i was feeling like they must hate me - I can't even come up for a reason for why I was feeling like that.
 
tegratol

i was on tegratol for a number of years it never gave me any side affects but unfortunatley it didnt controll my grand-mals, so ive recebtly changed, i hope they work better for you :) xx
