Anyone experience side effects while decreasing Keppra?

Hello, I’ve been seizure free for 10 years. I’ve experienced Keppra Rage. I’ve been angry, depressed, all the list. Then since it’s at a subthreaputic level my primary doc said I could decrease and my pharmacist said I could decrease it slowly on a nine week period. Now I’m decreasing it it’s like I’m back to normal, it’s wonderful but I’m just wondering if anyone has dealt with the horrible symptoms of keppra and then if they go off it they’re back to their normal self?
Thanks.

Hi Kel, oh that must've been disconcerting to have Keppra Rage as you tapered off the medication. You'll notice that I moved your post to this existing discussion:

I did this so you can read the previous posts and connect easily with fellow members like @bonnieh218 @ahernandez @jdernburg @jenfossbru and @jakedduck1

I'm glad you're feeling more like yourself again. What type of seizures do you have? What will you use for seizure management after tapering off Keppra?
