Hi there, my husband is taking the generic Levetiracetam 500 mg tablet twice a day (instead of Keppra) and it makes him very irritable. Did you switch to a different medication than this? He’s talking to his nurse about alternatives. Thank you.

@stucker9755 Yes, that is what they gave me when I first started. They changed it to Briviact after I refused my initial prescription. Why Briviact is so expensive, I do not know. Perhaps it is because a patient does do much better with Briviat. My initial oncologist said they did not prescribe it because it "might not be covered" with my insurance company.
I wish your husband good luck on a change that will help him feel better.
