Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I would explain that your mood swings could be related to Keppra adverse effects.
From the other hand, mood swinging could be also related to brain surgery.
Anyway, I would recommend discussing with your doctor on the possibility of stopping gradually Keppra.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Wishing good health,
Dr. Iliri
