Yes. The mechanism is by lowering the hematocrit, which sometimes occurs. A lowered hematocrit is viewed by the body as increasing vulnerability, and the "lizard brain" takes over (it's hard-wired), sometimes resulting in innappropriate verbal responses. The same thing happens when you take prednisone over long periods. In ab ER people who have blood loss will often become angry, curse and give everyone a hard time until they get a blood transfusion, and then, at a certain point the personality magically changes.

  To my knowledge many anti-convulsants have the potential to cause personality changes as an adverse side effect. For more information go to the medication website and discuss this with the physician who is prescribing the medication. They can make a decision as to what the appropriate next step is within their clinical discretion.
