I had two seizures days apart randomly in my sleep and had normal exams and zero explanation and they put me on keppra. I’ve had the headaches, the “keppra rage”, depression, suicidal thoughts, anxiety/panic attacks, rapid heart beat, the list goes on! Each symptom more terrifying! I was on 1000mg and went from 130-108 and felt like I was literally dying! I had to self taper from 1000mg to 750mg because my doctors weren’t listening. Wasn’t until I did my own research and digging where I learned I’m not alone in dealing with the horrible side effects of keppra! It feels so good to know I’m not alone in this! Don’t let doctors gaslight you or make you feel crazy or ignored, Knowledge is power and gave me peace of mind. The tapering has helped with the headaches dramatically and weight too but regardless I’m trying to taper off it completely and find something safe. I hope this helps.. take care!
