Interactions? Levetiracetam and psychedelics

Can't find much information on this so assuming no medically significant interactions but I was prescribed Keppra (levetiracetam) last Sunday for my epileptic seizures after I developed a toxic hypersensitivity to my former anticonvulsant phenytoin sodium. Has anyone taken a psychedelic while on it and have you noticed any interactions, so far I've had no adverse effects from the med other than some transient belligerence and minor rage issues (snapping and yelling a bit) both of which I was told to expect. Any potentiation, increased risk for things to go bad, decreased effect? Just trying to cover my bases before I go and drop a few tabs or drink a tea and end up regretting it.

If I haven't got a definite answer by the time the drug stabilizes in my system I will drop 50mcg of LSD so I don't waste any if it degrades the trip and so I'm not unexpectedly thrust into wild territory if it potentiates, considering I have found almost nothing I don't expect any medically significant interactions with it so I'm not too concerned on that front. Will report back in a couple weeks. The little I have seen is conflicting in that it either does absolutely nothing to the trip or that it sours it so likely some placebo on the latter but we shall see.

Wife found some papers showing that levetiracetam can roughly double the potency of psyches form some people so I'l definitely start low and see what happens, 50mcg or a gram of shrooms seems like a reasonable place to start and see, worst case I can always increase the dose another time.

I did DMT and MDMA while on it, no problems at all. Not everybody's the same though. The side effects are quite shitty like. I take lamotrigine now. It's better overall for me. It's the one I'm on now that is the one that could interact, as it is also a mood stabiliser for people with bi-polar as well. Drugs still work on me though, even coke which is the most likely to not work as it's strictly dopamine. I haven't noticed a difference in the trips either since switching meds.
I would only do DMT these days though, and that's only a few times a year. Smoke tons of weed though
Obviously you can't ignore the consequences of having a seizure on these things. Mine's temporal lobe epilepsy, not like generalized epilepsy.

I've got mostly focal seizures with secondary generalized and have recently been re-prescribed lorazepam which is working well so worst case. Generally I find lysergamides stop my seizures as long as I keep my blood sugar up. Since I'll be supervised tomorrow I think I'll be dropping 100ish mics to enjoy decorating my new house and all the cool diffraction the lights cast everywhere

Took 100mcg and had the experience I would have expected, maybe a little heavier on the visual side of things but headspace was what I would expect from 100. Seems like there's nothing to note here.
