Epilepsy cannot currently be permanently cured for most people, but it can often be well-controlled with proper treatment. Since you are still having seizures on Levera XR 1000 twice daily, your doctor may need to adjust your dose, add another anti-seizure medicine, or consider options like epilepsy surgery if medicines are not enough.

  1. Understanding Epilepsy Management

    • Epilepsy is a chronic condition requiring ongoing management. Levera XR (levetiracetam) helps control seizures but is not a cure.

  2. Current Treatment

    • Continue taking Levera XR as prescribed. Monitor for any side effects or breakthrough seizures.

  3. Exploring Permanent Solutions

    • Permanent solutions are rare. Consider advanced options like epilepsy surgery, vagus nerve stimulation (VNS), or responsive neurostimulation (RNS) for drug-resistant cases.

  4. Evaluation for Advanced Treatments

    • Consult a neurologist for a comprehensive evaluation, including video EEG and MRI, to assess suitability for advanced treatments.

  5. Safety and Lifestyle Considerations

    • Take precautions to prevent seizures during activities like biking. Consider lifestyle changes and regular follow-ups.

  6. Consultation and Next Steps

    • Discuss with your neurologist about seizure control and potential advanced therapies if current treatment is insufficient.
