Never heard of it! Tegretol, as jksk81 said can work for some. It depends on what kind of epilepsy you have. I'm on lamotrogine, which really dosen't have too many side effects for me, mostly lucid dreams, mild acne which is tolerable. Really bad dandruff though. Instant relief head and shoulders or you'll scratch like a dog. But no mood issues. Keppra? I turn into a mental case. Tegretol works better for partial seizures. I was on it as a child. But it gave me a lot of adverse effects from screwed up teeth ,wrecks your bones and changed my eyecolor.It's an old drug and does work very well for many.It really depends on your system.Do watch your bones though. Just run some ideas by your neurologist. Good Luck.

Keppra made me very irritable. Everything seemed to make me angry!

I am currently am on fycompa and am doing fine. I am on fycompa, vimpat, and keppra. I have been on lamictal, and it stopped being effective. Clonazepam was evil. My son was wondering why I was mad all the time. All of these medicines have a side effect. How you react to it could be different than how I react. Use your own judgement for what's best for you. Good Luck.
