In need of help with two medications Depakote and Keppra
Fri, 04/10/2015 - 13:29I am 27 and back in 2007 out of know where i had a seizure and from then on i have been diagnosed with epilepsy. Since then though i have had surgery which has helped out a lot but still i will always need to be on a medication. So it is between depakote and Keppra First we tried staying on Keppra and slowly started taking off Depakote but after awhile things changed and i wasnt myself anymore my temper increased, mood got worse and everyone noticed i was also getting down on things. But the issue is i hear with depakote that it messes with your concentration and memory as well as focus. I am worried about this because i am in school for my degree and really dont need that. So if anyone can help with whether or not this is true also i heard that depakote can mess with your mood as well so not sure if that is true as well. Just in need of some advice things just havent been to great for awhile now.
