Keppra or Lamotrigine?

Hi all,

30 years old, three TC’s over the summer with random auras and officially diagnosed. I told my neurologist I didn’t want Keppra as I’m anxious about the side effects. He gave me Keppra and Lamotrigine and told me I should at least “try” the Keppra but understands if I just want Lamotrigine. For those of you with experience with both, which would you choose?

I am so hesitant to start with Keppra as I am a very positive, fun, and happy person. I don’t want to be a angry shell of my real self just to be seizure-free. Anybody controlled their seizures with just Lamotrigine? What was your dosage? It seems my prescription is a low dose that builds up over weeks. (25mg two weeks, 50mg two weeks, 75mg two weeks and 100mg two weeks after that)

Any advice or experience would be so helpful and appreciated.

Thanks all ❤️
