I have been on levetiracetam for 2 years, taking 1000 mg morning and evening with Vibrania D in the evening. Is my lack of concentration a side effect?

Indeed, long-term levetiracetam use can cause mental slowness and poor concentration. Even when seizures are under control, high doses may also result in weariness, agitation, or mental fog. Talk to your neurologist about this,?adding therapy, changing the timing, or adjusting the dosage could be beneficial.
Have a query?
