Keppra

Well our Keppra journey did not last very long... We were doing 1/2
pill morning and night with her Trileptal then we upped the dose to a
whole pill morning and night this week and man oh man did it not work
well... Megan has been a monster! Mood swings were horrible! Last
night was the straw that broke my heart... She went from crying, to
screaming, to yelling, to hating her brother, to hating her friend at
Girl Scout camp, to not wanting to live... Called the Dr. this
morning and he said "This is a known side effect" So back to Trileptal
and who knows what is next, we have to wait a week for the Keppra to
leave her blood stream... What a roller coaster!!!
