Are you noticing any of the psychiatric or psychological side effects? I
never noticed any hirsute side effects on monster doses of Keppra.
I've never been on Keppra monotherapy. You are supposed to take it with
other stuff. Keppra has a totally different mechanism than other drugs.
I wouldn't jump ship on Keppra at all without asking. And Dilantin might not
be good in your case; you don't know.
