Hi Brian, I have been on Keppra now for about 8 months. It has had a bit of a negative effect on my chronic depression, but I am on anti-depressants now, which have seemed to help. Although my seizures are not yet fully under control, I have had fewer negative side effects with the Keppra than most other meds I have taken. Hope all is well with you, Barbie *************************************** "We are each of us angels with only one wing, and we can fly only by embracing each other." -lucian de crescenzo

Are you on Keppra by itself, or with other medication? Sweetsue
