Well I have just started on Keppra. I am extremely nervous about the side effects of this because I have already suffered one nervous breakdown with major depression and I hope that this drug doesn't put me back into the wrong head space. I am now on 800mg Tegretol and 500mg Keppra per day split into two doses. I really hope this starts to settle things down for me. I have heard a lot of negativity about Keppra but unfortunately Tegretol just wasn't doing the job. Hope all my cyberfriends are doing ok. Sending you some sunshine and hugs:hugs:
 
If anything the keppra makes me angry - kepprage is what people call it.

If it doesn't work or the side effects are too bad ask the dr to be taken off of it.
