@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member , May I ask what medications he’s on? Each medication affects everyone differently but Keppra is one medication that many of us on here have had been on & eventually gotten off of being that we didn’t like the side effects. Keppra can cause mood swings, anger issues & make people not act like themselves, all known as the Keppra Rage. Keppra can also cause extreme drowsiness & even trouble sleeping. In 2019 I took Keppra for 2 to 3 months & it made me so extremely tired that I had to take a nap every day & eventually I started having trouble sleeping & so I got off it. I never experienced the Keppra Rage. On the other hand, there are others on the site who don’t have many if any problems with Keppra. So you might look at the side effects of his medications. You could also talk to his doctor & let them know what’s going on & see what they can suggest. After I have a seizure, I’m usually really tired & weak & must take a nap. Prayers his seizures calm down. Your friend in Texas, Becky

For me after I have a seizure my emotions are on overload. Maybe he doesn't know how to express that productively. I always feel a great sense of guilt and inadequacy after as well and that can easily turn into anger. I'm not making excuses and I'm not a doctor and I wish you luck!

A person who has had a seizure feels like they have taken a beating from their own body, he probably isn't even aware he does it. Its not personal though it's just frustration and pain.
