Advice & Tips
I continue with this meds because I also take lamictal and not really sure which is causing which side effects. My seizures have become different and more severe and more often. I was taking Tegratol and Depacote with less side effects.

Advice & Tips
My personality completely changed on Keppra. I became very mean, depressed all the time, and even attempted suicide. I am NOT one to do that. I have NEVER thought of suicide before, thinking it a cowardly way out (no offense), but I think that shows how far out that took me. be VERY careful on this drug. It works great for some, for others not so much.
