i am taking levil 1000mg  . i had severe epilepsy, after taking levilpil 500 mg i the morning  the epilepsy  has almost stopped , Now i am having symptoms of brief/absence  seizure, I am not getting  any epilepsy/fits as earlier. I did not get any fits for one year after taking levpil and zonisep . Doctor advised to take levipil 1000mg in morning and evening . whether it will have any side effect and whether brief  seizure will  be reduced
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. Levipil (levetiracetam) is a safe and effective anti-epileptic Chat Doctor.  The dose of 2000 mg per day (1000 mg two times a day) is the normal therapeutic dose, and we do not expect any side effects with that. Yes, with the current dose, we expect a reduction in the seizure frequency and the minor seizures would stop or reduce. So, I suggest you to continue your anti-seizure medications regularly as advised by your neurologist. I hope it helps. Please get back if you require any additional information. Wishing you good health,
