Hi. Any psych drug can make things worse. I'm not at all anti-psych drugs, I'm just trying to be honest and open with you. the anti-seizure drugs can cause depression, lower your mood, make you anxious, sometimes they'll cause agitation and psychosis (Keppra is apparently bad about that one, btw).

My advice is to listen to your body. In more severe mental illness cases, medications are often (usually?) a must, at least for a while. In those cases, a lot of times the best one can hope for is to get a drug that doesn't cause intolerable adverse effects and gets the job done reasonably well.

In your case, it sounds like you should have some flexibility in choosing what, if any, psych drugs to take, how long to take the drug(s), etc. I'm not trying to minimize your problems, but I am saying that you're not manic, psychotic, having a nervous breakdown, etc., so you can be a little more "picky" about your psych drugs, or at least...that's my take on it.

I hope things work out well for you.
