Advice & Tips
This drug worked great for my "Logical" mind. I felt more like the scientist I am and less emotional. I felt that my mood was leveled and I was less likely to have an emotional reponse to stressful situations. I only went off this drug because I lost my insurance and could no longer afford it.

Advice & Tips
Lexapro was the first antidepressant I had ever taken, and it seemed to work well. However, as my dosage of Keppra increased, I began to get frequent panic attacks and anxiety, and I had little energy and no motivation. My general practitioner switched me to Paxil, and I am slowing the dosage of Keppra as I get onto Trileptal. I feel so much better! :)
