Anyone experience side effects while decreasing Keppra?

I have been having a lot of trouble with Keppra. Although it has eliminated my seizures, it has several very bad side effects. I have a rash on my legs which is at its worst at night and keeps me from sleeping. And it has substantially worsened my underlying depression. Has anyone else had these side effects and, if so, what have you done about them?

Hello,
Have you told your doctor about your rash? Did it start soon after you began Keppra?

I have been depressed for a number of years and I think Keppra is making it worse. My neurologist has suggested other drugs but they list depression and weight gain as side effects so I've stuck with Keppra. I would like suggestions from other people who have tried other anti-seizure meds.
