keppra & anger
Fri, 03/03/2006 - 06:41Topic: Medication Issues
I just started Keppra.
500mg twice a day.
I've only taken it for 3 days.
I'm angry. I've said things I would never say to my husband and teenage children.
I'm sitting here seething.
Could this possibly be the Keppra?
I've got to call the doc when the office opens.

I too, am taking Keppra for my seizures. When I started keppra it put me on a high. There were times during the day when I would start laughing alot for no reason. I was started on 500 mg 2x a day.Later it was reduced to 250 mg 2x aday and then to 150 2x a day. Keppra took care of the Simple partial seizures I experienced during the period of my menstrual cycle. The only problem is that it makes me so tired, weak, alot of other side effects.
Now I am off of it because it interferes with my job. I get angry just prior or during my period for no reason. My doctors next choice is Lamictal... hopefully soon.

Hypnotherapy can also help an individual to change the way they think or behave in situations that cause their anger to flare up. By accessing the subconscious mind, hypnotherapy can often help identify the root cause of the problem and help the individual to learn how to deal with it in a calmer, more relaxed way.
