For Seizures "I was put on Keppra, and at first thought they were amazing, as my grand mal seizures had just stopped! It’s not what they do for epilepsy that should be debated with this medication, it’s what they do to your mind. I was sooooo depressed but had never been depressed before, so I just let it go on and on until one night I tried to take my own life, funnily enough with Keppra! If I was rating this medication on solely stopping seizures, it would get a 10, but I think when they’re offering this out, they should maybe balance it out with an antidepressant."
