Hi Ms Pooja, Thank you for posting your query. You are suffering from epilepsy. This is a chronic condition, and it requires lifelong treatment in many cases. Lever (levetiracetam) is a very safe anti-epileptic medication, and does not have any significant adverse effects.  It is safe in pregnancy too. So, you can plan for a pregnancy while on lever. Please discuss these issues with your neurologist and gynecologist. Best wishes, Chat Doctor.
