> I noticed some irritability associated with using it. But it seems to be dose related and the irritability wasn't accompanied by increased psychomotor agitation and angry rumination. The "irritability" was more to do with increased assertiveness and a disinhibiting effect accompanied by being more aware of what's going on. Difficult to describe, but it seemed to work on my ADHD symptoms, especially short term working memory. Improved working memory makes it a little easier to become irritable in my case.At what dose and what dosing schedule were/are you taking Keppra?
