Yes, several of her medications, particularly those affecting the nervous system like levetiracetam (Levera XR), topiramate (Topaz), gabapentin with nortriptyline (Pentanerv-NT), and paroxetine with clonazepam (Panazep), can cause severe sleepiness, weakness, and dizziness. Topiramate is also known to cause weight loss. It is highly advisable to consult her doctor promptly to review this complex regimen. They can safely adjust doses or change treatments. Please do not stop or alter any medication suddenly, as this must be done gradually under medical supervision to ensure her safety.

What should I do if I missed my nightly dose of Levera XR 500 yesterday and am now experiencing severe jerking in my left leg tonight?

Missing your dose of Levera XR 500 (levetiracetam) can lower your body's medicine levels, which may cause these breakthrough symptoms. Please take your scheduled dose now if you haven't already, but do not take a double dose. Since you are experiencing active jerking, it is very important that you contact your neurologist or visit an urgent care center immediately for safe guidance on correcting your dose. Please avoid driving or any hazardous activities right now.

If my brain scan (MRI) is normal and I am taking Levera 500 for seizures, does my blood pressure rising to 145/100 during an episode mean that high blood pressure is causing the seizures, or do I have epilepsy?

It is very common to have a normal MRI scan even if you have epilepsy, as many seizures originate from microscopic or electrical issues in the brain that scans cannot see. The rise in your blood pressure to 145/100 is likely a temporary, natural reaction to the intense physical and emotional stress of a seizure, rather than the cause of it. While Levera 500 (levetiracetam) is helping manage your seizures, it is important to share these blood pressure readings with your neurologist.

I have been on Levera 500 mg for epilepsy, but I experienced two seizures. What should I do?

If you have had seizures while taking Levera 500 mg, it means your current dose may not be enough or your epilepsy may need a different approach. Do not stop the medicine on your own, as this can trigger more seizures. Contact your neurologist; they may adjust the dose, add another medicine, or check for triggers. Keep a record of your seizures (time, duration, what you were doing) to help your doctor manage your treatment better.

What is the best medication for epilepsy treatment?

There is no one best medicine for everyone with epilepsy. The right anti-seizure drug depends on the type of seizures, your age, other health factors, and how well you tolerate side effects. Talk to a doctor who will choose the best medicine for your seizure type and help manage side effects.

After surgery for bi-frontal contusions, why is he having seizures?

Seizures after surgery for bi-frontal contusions are fairly common. They happen because the brain tissue is injured or healing, which can make nerve cells fire abnormally. Swelling, scarring, or blood near the brain can also trigger seizures. Doctors usually prescribe anti-seizure medicine for a period after surgery to prevent them. Follow-up with a neurologist is important to control seizures and monitor recovery.
