Anyone experience side effects while decreasing 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.

I have been on Generic ZONISAMIDE capsule many years no side effects noticeable to me. NO weight gain. Currently on 300mg. at bedtime. Brand name is ZONEGRAN. Probably directed at bedtime as it may make you sleepy. I sleep well. I would never touch KEPPRA again from my horrible experience in hospital. Happy I was in hospital at the time under surveillance. My Neurologist prescribed generic SERTRALINE HCL TABLET 100mg. one time daily for depression. I take in morning. I am able to function very well. No side effects noticeable to me. You will see my current posts, I think 3 as a new participant under boomerang. I am learning a lot. Great input from all members.
