Just an update.

I met with one of the top epilepsy doctors in the city. As soon as I sat down with him, the first thing he said was we're taking you off keppra right away. He said a person of my age should never have even been on that drug in the first place. Said that the side affects are even worse for someone 18-30 then someone older. He switched me to a 40 year old drug called Dilantin. WOW. What a change. The last month and a half has been 10X better for me. I'm no longer an a-hole to everyone all the time and I can actually sleep since it makes me drowsy. I take 300MG before I want to sleep and within an hour or 2 I pass out. Haven't had a seizure since and have been feeling a lot better as well. Thanks everyone for your feedback, still hoping to find out the cause of why I'm getting them.
