A member asked:

Side effects from taking keppra (levetiracetam) for seizures?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Moodiness: Keppra (levetiracetam) is a remarkably safe medication. It is handled by the body in a manner that does not damage liver or blood or kidney. However, it can affect mood and emotions and produce unusual behaviors.
