Is it safe to have zeptol 300 mg along with Levipil 500 mg. The doctor has advised reduction in Levipil over 3 weeks and shift to Zeptol because of age concerns.

The NIH lists the typical side effects of Zeptol as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, drowsiness, memory loss, mood swings, and weight changes. Is there anything else I can help with?

My mother is suffering for epilepsy. She has been admitted to the hospital 8times for last 1 and 1/2 years. Doctor prescribed her Lobazam 5 and Levipil 500. Now she is feeling drowsy and some time she has lost her balance.

Levipil contains Levetiracetam, it is an anticonvulsant and it can cause the same types of side effects. So, the two together could even be compounding the problem. How long has she been taking them? The side effects should start to taper off and improve, as her body gets used to the medications, but it can take about 4 to 6 weeks. ## Thanks for the valuable feedback. She has...
