Mood Improvement
has anyone noticed that your child's mood has improved after weaning off keppra? while my child never had keppra rage I always felt keppra dampened his personality. but since he is slowly weaning off keppra I feel his personality is slowly coming back. anyone experienced this?
I was on Keppra for about 6 months with my two other medications, but didn't work out. I became aggressive and changed my mood, but once it was removed things improved for me.
Thanks Becky. He is seizure free for nearly 6 months now. Soon he will be weaned off keppra completely. Will be only on Zebinix (aptiom) then. Luckily in Ireland all epilepsy meds are free so we dont have to worry about paying for meds here as I understand Zebinix is quite expensive. Hope you are having a lovely day. x
@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member , Keppra is known to cause mood swings, anger issues & make people not act like themselves. Keppra is also known to cause excessive drowsiness & sometimes known to cause trouble sleeping. I took Keppra in mid 2019 for 2 months & though I didn’t experience the Keppra Rage, the Keppra made me so tired that I had to take a nap every day & eventually I started having trouble sleeping at night & so I got off it. So maybe the Keppra was making your son really tired & now that he’s off it he has more energy. Prayers his seizures stay calm. Happy Thanksgiving to you & your family. Your friend in Texas, Becky
