I ended up withblisters in my mouth and my glands in my neck swelled up. It also decreased urine output swelled up. Cardiologist had to put me on diuretics. I would not recommend this drug if it is the best out there I think I would rather have the seizures could not stay awake on 500mg fell asleep at work

In the beginning it kept the seizures away(I was on 250mg.) at that time. Now I'm on 1,000 2x's a day, and the seizures are stronger. I want to stop taking it, because they are not working!

I acutally use it for Complex partial seizures. Keppra has worked great for me over the years. I have been on multiple strengths: 1000 mg up to 4000 mg. NOTE: it is well-known cause sudden mood changes or outburst of anger that are (sometimes) hard to control. I have gone through the mood changes many times. But, with epilepsy: side effects vs seizures - take your pick.

I did notice some emotional changes at the start I was more irritated, emotional & withdrawn but I told the doctor about the problems & after a month I was fine, not a seizure since I started taking it!
