I started Keppra a month ago, 500 mg twice a day. Lately I’ve been more emotional than usual, arguing with my husband, feeling down and not loved or cared for so much with my marriage. It’s also an emotional time in my life right now (graduating law school next week and missing my father during this time).
I did alot of research on Keppra so I’m familiar with possible side effects. I’ve been really watching myself and my emotions to try to keep a level head.
Lately I’ve been feeling maybe a little quicker to get upset at my husband or feel like crying, harder to let things go, but it comes and goes in waves. Like I said, it’s also an emotional time right now. With my husband, I feel like I’m upset about valid issues we had before I started Keppra.
But how do I know when it’s the Keppra making me “emotionally unstable”? I’m curious what everyone else’s experiences are. I’m not like screaming uncontrollably or anything like that. I just feel like being on a medication known to cause anger/sadness makes you question everything about your emotions!
