Does Anyone Have Mood Swings On Pills They're Currently On?
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

I'd like to know how people deal with their mood swings I'm bipolar. My mood was okay at first. I could handle them, But now since I got on Levetiracetam as known as Keppra my mood has been so bad it's like I'm happy one minute next I'm crying then just angry for no reason. My doctor knows and I want to go to a mental health doctor and see what they can do. Please Help Me

Keppra is one of those top medications with side effects, that can change your behaviors and emotions.

People who have experienced this with Keppra, call it the RAGE drug

You need to find a different drug. I've been on them all, if there're new ones. Keppra is what, isn't noted from doctors, but killed a percentage of my kidneys (or liver), don't remember which (oh, kidney down to 89% and brain damage...drs. have never seen my effects of over 50 years of seizures, and have pretty much left. You'd be amazed at what those drugs do to our bodies :-(
