Is “Keppra Rage” Actually Just A Symptom Of Brain Damage That Causes Epilepsy In The First Place?
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

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.

Keppra Rage is a side Effect from the medication. I’m on it but don’t get that side effect.

Family and friends may notice before the person who is taking it.

The side effects of getting Mad easy and Behavioral change are the two side effects that many people don’t like. They feel it’s changing the person they were, before going on Keppra.

There are MANY causes of epilepsy. However, many neurologists think ALLl possible causes aren't known

I experienced Keppra rage as a side effect when taking Keppra itself. As soon after the medication was removed, everything was well again and that high strung temper was gone.

I experienced several side effects while on Keppra. One being extreme rage! Depression and anxiety were also not my friends. Slowly my dose is down to 500 my 2 twice a day. I am a different person thank goodness. I couldn't stand myself, little own subject an innocent victim to this 👹 monster!!! In short, the “RAGE” is real, very real. Those chemicals effect everyone differently 💜

I myself don't have any rage issues with keppra I'm on, I do have feelings and I do use them as they come about, I do get angry now and then, but know how to handle it, but not rage, I'm a emotional person, and i am not ashamed of that, my opinion here,
