Keppra rage

[ifaith2]

Hi all. I am really scared. I have been on Keppra for a little over a year. Initially I didn't notice any issues, because I already have some anxiety (undiagnosed), so what noticed I just brushed off as anxiety. But over the last nine months or so I have seen a change. I get angry more easily, and over really really stupid stuff. Once I flew into a temper tantrum because my roommate threw out something I had in the fridge. A year ago I would have moved on without a thought. And then today, after getting frustrated and upset by my boss (who is not the nicest guy, btw) I had some of the most frightening thoughts I have ever had in my entire life. I don't have an appointment with my doctor for two weeks. Does anyone who has been through this have any tips for decreasing the symptoms in the meantime?

Yes! When I started Keppra (which I was on for almost 8 months) I was paranoid, suicidal, scared and angry .Not at all like the real me. The neurologist added lamotrigene when I  told him and it instantly turned around . I am my old self again. Even on Keppra I had small partial seizures. But that all stopped when I started Lamotrigene. Seizure free for 4 months.Neither big or small ones.  Got my fingers crossed that this will continue.
