I find myself having a lot of outbursts if I am off the medication or on it. I have clinical anxiety and depression as well as mild autism and I feel like the combination of those around the time of incoming or outgoing seizure activities causes them to usually happen. I started to see a psychologist and they helped me figure out that I had some of these things going on and gave me some insights to try and manage them a bit better.

The main thing is getting some help and also remembering you are still the man you know you are, and a good human. Sometimes this thing happens and all we can do is make sure when or if it does that we reachout to anyone it effects and sincerely apologize. Sometimes they can accept it but sometimes they need some space, and that's ok. Lots of Marijuana also helped me lol

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member, i have never taken it. But i hear from another member that Fycompa will give you aggression, and suicidal tendencies.

It could be a mild to moderate form of bi polar, I'm no doctor but by your description it sounds like my ex wife but hers was sever plus she had anxiety attacks, it's something to consider and maybe look into?
