I went through a similar experience with my migraines. I was on amitriptyline for a little over 2 years. During this time frame (age 14-16) I fell into a deep depression and had a lot of similar symptoms to what you’re discussing. my neurologist happened to change my medication because I said I wanted to try something new. as soon as I got off the medicine, my world CHANGED. of course being a teenager is difficult, but I didn’t realize how much this medicine was hurting me until I got off it. so to answer your question, I don’t exactly know. However, the fact that you’re questioning this makes me believe it’s worth looking into. Talk to your doctor and see what they suggest. Antidepressants also improved my condition drastically, but staying on a medicine that kills your mental health isn’t worth it. good luck! :)

Oh! Thank you so much. I was afraid to change my medicine. I haven’t had a seizure since I’ve been on it and my doctor says it’s the best one in terms of the side effects. But I’m going to talk to my doctor and see what she recommends.

Unfortunately you can only base it off of what you felt before the medication but the bad part about seizure medication can be the side effects.. I have non epileptic seizures so I do understand but I am on lamotrigine for it, it also helps with bipolar because it has a mood stabilizer

A lot of medications list irritability, anxiety, and depression as side effects. It could be or it could not be caused by keppra. Personally, I would still take keppra - since, it’s been the one medication that’s helped you for so long & it can be very tricky to find a medication that does help. Maybe seeing a therapist to talk to would help. If that doesn’t work, then maybe you could try antidepressants. But, to be honest, antidepressants are not all they’re cracked up to be. They help some people, but sometimes they’re not for everyone. I hope you can get things figured out.
