Well, Keppra did a number on me in several ways. I hadn't really talked about the relationship thing before, but it did do some damage there--keep in mind, I was only on it for about 2 weeks. As a substitute teacher, it is IMPERATIVE for me to stay calm, cool and collected, and be able to think on my feet at all times. I couldn't do that on Keppra.
Not only was I an Energizer Bunny on Speed (chores at work that were supposed to take me 4 hours got done in 20 minutes??) and then ended up seeing things in triplicate that rotated (OK, talk about mind-blowing, I could NOT function for 2 days after that. I immediately quit taking the stuff, and told my doctor when I went to see him a few days later. I didn't give a damn. I blew up then.)
However, I did have a hard time talking with anyone important to me. Although i was separated from my husband at the time, I was living with my best friend of 25 years, and I couldn't even talk to her. I would just sit there and stare at her.
The sad thing is, the damage done from those couple weeks is irreversible. My friend and I are no longer speaking any more. She's dealt with my E for years, but the Keppra was the last straw.......in that respect, my heart is totally broken. She was my only support system. My kids and husband cannot be relied on.
Keppra sucks.
