Ok this is strange. I know that one of the side effects of Keppra is Kepprage.

But i've been getting these periods of feeling unexpectably hyper! I mean, today i've been to the gym, helped out builders in my kitchen, been to town, did a bit of food shopping and re-organized/sorted through all my clothes (mind you, it felt good throwing out all the clothes that are too big for me hehe - i threw out about 3 bin bags full)

Now i seem to be typing at the speed of light and can't sit still for two seconds. I'm enjoying it while it lasts since my normal state of mind is being sleepy/lethargic.

Anyone else having this experience? I'm on 1000mg Keppra a day and 300mg Lamictal.
 
Feeling GOOD, HAPPY, ready to take on the world perhaps?
I do have those days. I am not on any medication.
 
I get those days too.
I have done all that. gotten up at 8 in the morning. done a tonne of laundry, cleaning. running around, paying bills. go for a jog and then come home, hang out with friends and watch a movie before bed, and still too much energy to sleep!
 
That's how I felt for the first month on Lamictal! But then the effect wore off :(

Hurray that the Keppra is picking you up. Let's hope it doesn't swing the other way...
 
No, i hope not, Nakamova! I'm normally really tired, so to have the odd day where i've got an abundance of energy is soooooo rare.

I feel like i could bounce around the room :banana:

Trust me, this is NOT normal for me. Of course i get happy days, everyone does. But not this super-hyperactive-bouncing off the ceiling-doing everything at ten times the speed-giggling-wreck-gonna crash soon kind of happy :P

:rock:
 
Someone put cocaine in the sugar bowl again. Tsk...
 
I think someone's been replacing my meds with speed ¬.¬

I've been like this all day - give it an hour or so and i'll probably be knackered again lol.

Edit - that reminds me - take meds!
