Concerned about switching to Keppra
Hi. After seeing my neurologist he has suggested changing from Epilim chrono to Keppra. However he did mention the potential side effect of Keppra rage and general mood changes. Has anyone seen this happen? I do take a number of other medications so switching was advised to avoid interactions. I am

Anyone else feeling so utterly beyond help they really don't know what else to do?
Partner had TBI 3 years ago. Endless health problems. Now deteriorating. Partner had sleep deprived EEG earlier this year. Result was abnormal with an irregular sharp/slow morphology. Coupled with deterioration he should go back on Keppra. We will lose everything. His job, driving license and my sanity

So so close.
So one UTI and a set of antibiotics later, I am now healthy (brain damage, AVM and epilepsy withstanding), which is great. For my epilepsy I've recently been taking 2x150mg Lamotragine per day and 2x1000mg Keppra per day. We added Keppra because I was still having seizures, which I shouldn't have now

I sustained my tbi just over a year on an unfortunate day when I met a shiny Mercedes on my bicycle! We have then

THIS JUST IN
So I went to the doctors today. He took my blood pressure sitting down, then standing up, and told me that I had lower blood pressure when standing, which isn't good (blood's not resisting gravity). Now apparently this is due to the Keppra I'm now on (2x1500mg per day), namely the high dose. This would
