Getting off of Keppra and having a huge change in moods.
Thu, 05/05/2016 - 10:40Topic: Medication Issues
Hi everyone! I was gradually taken off of Keppra recently. I've noticed that my moods have been quite erratic since. I'm much more angry, I have lots of anxiety and I generally just feel depressed. I was diagnosed with epilepsy after I graduated high school and I feel like I've had these feelings before I was put on medication. It's been over 10 years ago so I don't really remember what that felt like exactly. I was wondering if maybe my medications were covering this up and helping to control my depression, or if this is something that has happened to others when get off of a medication.
Thank you!
Sara
