I have autism alongside my epilepsy as well as ADHD
I am wondering if anyone has noticed lying as a side effect of using Keppra? My daughter (8) has been taking Keppra for about 7 weeks now and we noticed that she has had some behavioural changes, one of which is constant lying. This is very out of character...wondering if this is something that may subside once she gets used to it?
Thank you for taking the time to answer,

Hi guys,
I'm not on any medication at the moment for my tonic clonic and grand mal seizures.
I'm wanting to speak to my Dr about maybe starting Topomax.
Has anyone been on it? Any side effects? Does it help stop seizures?
Did you take topomax in conjunction with other seizure meds or on it's own?
Thanks heaps.
I Was on Topomax and it had some side effects that were tolerable … Stay strong in time you might be thankful 🙏 🙏
She tells me I am the most emotional man she has ever known. But I attribute it to my condition. I don't recall being like this until six years ago.
That doesn't happen to me, but it's different for everybody. I get angry easily (might be keppra rage, not sure), but that's only because things never go my way, no matter how hard I try.

I try to control myself as I know the temporal and frontal lobe damage I have as revealed in an MRI enhances my potential for irritability and anger.
Well Keppra Was The Worse Medication For Me, So I Stopped Taking It. It Gave Me A Zombie Affect & Made Me Sleep All Day & Night Without Eating
My husband suddenly started having grand mal seizures about 6 years ago completely out of the blue and was diagnosed with epilepsy about 6 months after his first cluster of seizures. He was young (27) fit and healthy and strong as he is a farmer, since the epilepsy began he has changed in almost every way... can anyone else relate?
I can’t relate , since I had Epilepsy almost my whole life. But, there is a possibility , that his seizures or medication side effects, or both are causing his personality change
It’s 1 degree. Feels like -16! Lots of car accidents. Glad I stocked up on groceries last week! Warm and cozy here.
