Can <a href="/treatments/keppra">keppra</a> make my depression worse

It was the Kepra rage that gets most of us and no doubt a bit of depression came creeping in

Yes it can. <a href="/treatments/keppra">Keppra</a> is a nasty med and hate being on it. When you're on it gives these really big highs and lows. People refer to as <a href="/treatments/keppra">Keppra</a> 'rage' and I have experienced it and it be very bad. It can make you very aggressive. I hope this helps.

I have never had luck with <a href="/treatments/keppra">keppra</a>. I could never take it for very long without side affects.

I don't take <a href="/treatments/keppra">keppra</a> so I can't help you much with it. I have heard that it can cause depression.

Keppra can make you depressed, change your mood and behavior, trouble with balance, dizziness and tiredness. I believed that's most of it.

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member , It is very possible. There are many meds out there that have bad side effects.

Diarrhea is usually attached more to codeine then keppra. Codeine tends to irritate
The stomach but I don't think it irritate your stomach. I don't know that much about
Keppra. I took it for a very short time but had side affects so she changed me to
Something else. Talk with your Dr maybe she or he will change you to a different.
Best of luck!!!

I also found diarrhea was one bad side effect something the doctor found useful in prescribing pain medication for me his answer was Codeine as it was a constipator
