Anybody have any experience with Keppra? I'm noticing I'm kind of punchy on it. Can this happen?

I had tried Keppra a number of years ago. It did not produce an improvement in my depression. Nor did I experience the activating effect as you describe. However, there are things that should activate me that instead have a reversed effect. Amphetamine relaxes me and puts me to sleep.
You know yourself best. If the activation is atypical for you and you have not changed any other variables, then it is likely that this is a side effect.
At the moment, I know of only one person who has taken Keppra continuously for over a year. I'll see what I can dig up. Perhaps it is only a startup effect.
What are you using the Keppra for to treat?
