User Comments about Levetiracetam
24 May 2011 The best way to put it is i am not myself anymore. My moods turn dark no matter how hard i try to channel them in a differernt direction. I become angry at the drop of a hat and have no idea why. I have no happy feelings anymore. I was much stronger than this. I feel invisible. Now they want to put me on depakote so i can sleep the rest of my life away. I am 54 years old and have had gran mol seizures since i was 7. These a-fypical seizures that have started are horrible because i never know what they are going to do to mme. I want to see my grandchildren grow up and i don't think that is going to happen. Welcome to the world of generic keppra.

18 May 2010 I love that they now have a generic drug for Keppra. Side affects kind of disappointing but would prefer the hair & calcium loss to seizures!!
