Hi Trent,
I wanted to say I'm sorry when I read your post yesterday I was really tired and the first thing that came to mind when a saw the word tics is the insect but that's spelled "ticks" (real swift). As I mentioned keppra has helped me greatly by stopping my clonic sz. and complex partial sz. I no longer jerk around when I have a sz. and now I only have aura (simple partial) and absence (petit mal) sz. The only thing I don't like about keppra is that it has caused a rapid heartbeat for me when I first wake up in the morning or sometimes when I'm just sitting down relaxing. I had to have a 48 hr. EKG done and my Dr. feels it's the keppra that's causing this problem.
I do know that keppra can cause a person to have a very hot temper, become irritable, and more moody. some people have thoughts of suicide while others have tried to commit suicide while on this drug. I just leave everything in God's hands He won't give me more than I can handle.
Here's wishing you well and May God Bless You!

Sue
