Keppra and feeling angry all the time

Wed, 04/01/2015 - 15:27

I got put on Keppra a few days ago because Lamictal didn't work for me, I have the normal symptoms you get from Keppra like tiredness etc... But is it normal that I get angry really really easily, I have a short temper already but I feel like Keppra has increased my anger? Is this normal?
