> Just out of curiousity, what did your doctor say about Keppra when he/she prescribed it to you? Have you ever tried Lamictal or any other mood stabilizers?
My pdoc was trying to get rid of some of my anxiety, and he said that I needed something that worked on GABA. I have tried most of the mood stabilizers. Lamictal gave me that rash.

I tried 1000mg (500mg twice daily) and I felt it wearing off mid afternoon and was also very short fused, which is unlike me, so I started taking 750mg (250mg 3 times daily).

> I now take 500mg (250mg twice daily) because I added Lamictal, but just wanted to point out that Keppra can be very activating if your dose is to high for you.Activating in what way? I take all of it at night before I go to bed.
