Hi, Thank you for posting your query. Levipil (levetiracetam) is a safe anti-epileptic medication and can be continued for long. However, if your mother is sleeping more than usual, then, other medications such as carbamazepine or sodium valproate may be used. Since she has a brain stroke in the past, there is an increased risk of seizures in the future too. So, the medications should be continued for long term. I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow-up queries or if you require any additional information. Wishing you good health, Chat Doctor. Ly/
