Just googling keppra,  there are tons of hits about "kepprage" as they call it - rages caused by keppra.  

I couldn't find any sites that said the rages continued after discontinuing the keppra.  

There is some thought that uncontrollable rages like your daughter is experiencing are caused by seizures - and since she was known to have a seizure as a baby,  this rage may actually be a seizure.

Best wishes.  I would get her checked out - it sounds like she is miserable.
