Does anyone else feel drastic changes as they go through the day? Like in mood or in physical changes? I know some can be directly connected to medication, but just in general. Does anyone feel as though epilepsy brings about drastic physical, emotional, or mental changes? And how do you cope or manage them?

I have some days where my energy will quite suddenly drop. I need to take a couple of hours to rest or sleep.

If you are taking Keppra, you can experience this hourly. The Rage is real!

That helps a lot! Thank you. I often wonder if it is the medication, or just the day, but it becomes an everyday thing. I don't struggle with mental health, but I do have a moment, and it's usually around 2:00 pm everyday where my whole physical and mental just changes so much. Almost as if I just hit a wall. It takes me a while to gather myself as I don't want to lash out at anyone. It feels good to know that I am not the only one that experiences these things.
