I started Keppra for anxiety/social phobia and after three days can tell a difference. Not as tense and still feel alert. I had my doubts because had tried Neurontin which did nothing but maybe add anxiety because I felt brain locked. I'm currently taking nothing else, first time I've not been on an SSRI or other AD in ten years. These anti-convulsants can cause depression like benzos and if that happens I'm going to try a low dose of fluvoxamine with the Keppra. If you do a search on "fluvoxamine for anxiety and social phobia" you'll be surprised at the results you'll find compared to paroxetine. I'm currently taking 500mg Keppra at bedtime.
