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.
