I was the same with Keppra my family thought my doctor was prescribing me a pill that contained a demon. Plus it didn’t even work. The second I stopped taking it I was back to my normal happy self, still had seizures but at least I wasn’t trying to kill everyone I came in contact with.

Sorry to hear about your experience with Keppra. @A MyEpilepsyTeam Member.

Out of the five meds I’m on , one of them is Keppra. At the beginning I got upset easily. It didn’t take long for my body to adapt to the side effects and I was back to my normal self. I think a lot has to do with the multiple of meds I take. So I wasn’t effected for a long time.
