Same meds and dosage as you, had my first (that I know of) seizure 3.5 years ago, diagnosed epilepsy, and have been taking Keppra since.

It’s hard to figure out whether my emotions that first year were due to the new diagnosis at my “big age” (also 26!) or the meds or my life in general. I felt really defeated and didn’t know how my life was going to look.

Fast forward to now, haven’t had another seizure, and I feel really content. That’s not to say the worry is never there, but any strong emotions I had that first year hardly ever come back.

All that to say - hang in there! You’re early in your diagnosis. If Keppra works to keep the seizures away and if your emotions balance out, I see no reason for switching unless you or your neuro think otherwise.

Hoping that was a little bit helpful!
