[QUOTE="mom_in_training, post: 215837, member: 2727"] Wow gcv, Your Pirate man, Oh I mean ummm husband has been through allot. Hard to pinpoint the mood change considering all that hes been through. I just wanted to mention the fact that when my son first started taking Keppra his personality went from happy go lucky laughing all of the time to mad at the world. It lasted for quite some time but eventually did subside thank god. I had mentioned several times to his Neuro that I wanted him off of this medication because of his being angry all of the time. I told the Dr I can handle it but what bothers me more is the fact that my son is feeling this way all of the time. I know I would hate going through everyday being mad at the world and wanted very much to help my son get through this even if it meant no more Keppra. He had no side effects from the Trileptal at all when he started taking that almost two years ago. His seizures are pretty much controlled at this point and we do plan on weaning him from the Keppra eventually. The less drugs the better. Any drug regardless of what it is might not work well for one person but work out very well for another. I think in your husbands case that his body is adjusting to the Trileptal. It does take time. I see that hes already been weaned from his other medications, Thats great!!!! Geeze, It took over a year just to wean my son off of Dilantin. Yikes!!!! But he had been on it since he was like two years old though and at the time we weaned him he was almost 19 years old and is now 21. Bless your heart for being there for him, Your an angel. And you know what as much as you don't think so, He appreciates it i'm sure. He just won't tell you that. Lol!!! Hang in there gcv, It will get better. [/QUOTE]
