I had the same thing when I was on Keppra but when I started antidepressants I started to normal out again. You may want to look into that. I have been weaned off of Keppra and am now on Depakote and had no adverse effects during the transition.

Wow, Marty. Impressive words. I do sometimes have a hard time living in "the moment" and worrying too much about the future. I guess it is because I have worked really hard to get where I am and keep my life in order so I'm always trying to keep everything together so that I have the future that I want. I love my life the way it is and I am at a very stable point in my life.. I'm 25 with a solid career, completed a bachelors and masters, I own my own house...Ben (the fiance) doesn't have all of that yet because he is still in school and working towards the career he wants for himself. It can be hard for me sometimes to remember the anxieties that go along with being in school and figuring out your plans, so I think I need to be more understanding. I can't imagine how scary it would be to be prepping for things like the bar exam and not being able to remember things like you used to...that being said, I am not big on excuses. He needs to realize what a good person he really is and how much he does have going for him and make the changes needed to get back on track. I guess my role in this is to just be supportive and yet still be firm that this has to be done. I know you can't force change on someone but I do think when people are presented with a choice, it can prompt them to do what needs to be done. I know what I want the outcome to be, but you are right that I need to focus on today and don't hold on so tightly to the future...after all, I never would have dreamed I would be where I am and doing what I do, but here I am and it is great...I guess surprises can be good!! :)
