Hi there, I've been on keppra for 3 years, I started taking it when it was very much in the trial stage in the U.K. but i know this sounds incredible but once it got bedded in with my other meds (epilim and clobazam) i have never had another seizure again in fact i've got more energy than ever and my memory has improved. Plus as a bonus i get very spaced out trippy dreams which are like an added extra. Sure i still get the bad days depression-wise but i had those before i was even diagnosed, but I've got excellent support staff whenever i need them plus after having only just joined all you guys I feel as though i can help and support others which can only be a good thing.

I joined because my daughter has epilepsy. Her seizures were finally controlled when she was put on Keppra. Recently she started having some extreme mood changes...anger screaming etc I was totally freaked out. Called her Nuero after looking at possible side effects and described what was going on . Didnt really want to loose the siezure control. So he started her on Lexipro for the moody problem so far so good. My daughters name is Nikki she is 35 and has had seizures most of her life with a big increase in seizures at puberty onset.
