Does ANYONE like being on Keppra?
Thu, 09/14/2006 - 16:02Topic: Medication Issues
Okay, so I know no one really likes being on any medication, but I am just wondering, does anyone LIKE Keppra?
I hate Keppra. I hate the way it makes me feel. I'm always tired and grouchy and fidgety. I can't see straight most of the time and my already short-fuse is way way shorter.
Has anyone been on Keppra and NOT had bad side effects?
Because for the number of people, it seems like most people I've talked to DON'T like it.

My daughter was on Keppra for 9 months as a toddler. We did not have a good experience, after that point she was switched to trileptal. It controlled the seizures without the severe irritability. She was a totally different kid on keppra, we were both miserable.

I am searching for professional help to stop using levetiracetam. Since I started taking this drug, my quality of life has been adversely affected. I am trying to locate a competent neurologist in San Antonio, Texas who has time to schedule an appointment. My own take on levetiracetam is it is a very undesirable drug therapy. There must be alternatives.
