What Are The Side Effects Of Keppra?

My daughter started taking keppra for seizures a month ago. she is 44 years old and special needs she is also taking a small dose of depakote. We never see seizures - they only show up on EEGs. I am concerned because since she started keppra, she has been making little noises and also exaggerated excited faces. Is this a side effect?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Keppra is having leviteracitam.
It is anti epileptic drug with psychological side effects.
Common psychological side effects are hallucinations, anger, unusual behavior and thoughts etc.
So her current symptoms can be due to side effects of Keppra.
So discuss with her doctor about her symptoms. She may need to change Keppra.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your daughter. Thanks.
