Can anyone suggest any other medication besides Keppra for seizures?

I have read B6 helped decrease the mood issues associated with Keppra but never heard anyone verify the B6 actually eased those side effects.
Do you have any other side effects from Keppra? Has Kappra affected your memory, drowsiness or balance?
Take care,
Jake

Keppra was my first E-med. On the plus side, I did not have a seizure the 3 months I was on it. On the minus side, it made depressed and angry - B6 helps with that. Keppra did not make me sleepy, and did not affect my balance. Because I wanted off Keppra I asked to try another med and was put on Lacosamide (Vimpat). I was on Vimpat for about a week, missed one dose, and had a seizure the next day. Up until I missed my dose and had a seizure, Vimpat seemed fine. Hard to tell if it is the Vimpat or the recovery, but memory and balance are off, hopefully will improve. See neurologist in a few days, may be back on Keppra.
