my four year old son has been on keppra since november 2011. he has been having some speech issues ever since he started taking it. we are trying to switch to a depakote, but the speech problems seem to have gotten worse over the last two weeks he's been taking it. has anyone else had these problems? have you found a medication that works without causing this particular side effect?

Here is a list of meds that I found a month ago. You can goggle them and see all the side effects. I found that a lot of them give real bad headached and cause confusion.

Dilantin, Phenytek, Tegretol, Carbatrol, Phenobarbital, Mysoline, Zarontin, Depakene, Depakote, Valium, Felbatol, Gabitril, Lyrica, Neurontin, Topamax, Trileptal
