@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member, if you are on the highest dosage and it is not controlling your seizures, it is time to talk to your neurologist about a change in medication. I had to do the same thing when Keppra(The Rage) side effects was too much for me.

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member the Keppra is controlling my seizures but it’s just causing major mood swings and my mom wants me off it .

I’m on Keppra and Lamictal. They do a better job for me than the Dilantin or Phenobarbital did.

There are many people on Keppra who experience change in mood ( usually anger ) and change in Behavior.

Keppra got the nickname Rage drug/pill
