Members responded to a parent asking about managing mood swings caused by Keppra in their young daughter, with many sharing that this is a well-known side effect sometimes called 'KeppRAGE.' Several members recommended B6, B12, or a B-complex vitamin supplement as a helpful strategy, noting that seizure medications can deplete B vitamins and that gummy or under-the-tongue forms work well for kids. A recurring theme was that everyone reacts differently to medications, and working closely with a doctor is key, as some families eventually switched medications when mood issues became too severe.
