Default Derrick's Neuro is wanting to try Keppra

Hi everyone

I am concerned about what to say or do! Reason is he was on Keppra
for maybe 6 weeks at the most. At least I believe it was.

He was having rage, moods and other issues. The neurologist, and
I thought it was the keppra. But I can't remember for sure which
Neurologist put him on Keppra. But am pretty sure, it was the first
one. And that the biggest reason we took him off was it was the
newest medicine. And he was having lots of seizures and problems.

If I have my time period correct though. He was also on Tegretol
and Depakote. And we found out just after that the Depakote
was toxic for him. It was all the sudden putting his level to high
or low. And we also had hallucinations and other issues.

He was taken off Depakote when it was figured out to be the culprit.

So my worry is that Keppra wasn't the problem. It was the Depakote
all along. But if its not that and its Keppra. I hate to put him or
anyone else through the rage again, that Keppra can and did cause.

Doctor feels the dilantin is leaving his system to fast. I am not sure
what else there might be. He would need one of the newer drugs.
