my husband is using levipil - 500 since one year, so what type of food will take for side effects? ## Because Levipil is the cause of those side effects, he must stop taking it in order for them to recede and eventually go away. It is pretty much like saying, "my back is very sore, but I keep lifting weights; what can I do to help the soreness? Just stop lifting weights for a while". He should inform his doctor about switching medications if any of the side effects are too severe or refuse to go away. Being in the nutrition field, I think the most important proper dietary changes he should try to work towards are simply consuming more fresh ripe raw organic fruits and vegetables; more so making this at least 75% of his lifestyle diet to have the greatest effect on his health and...

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. If it is a side effect of the medicine, then what should be our course of action? ## Clobazam is a Benzodiazepine derivative and yes, it can cause some dizziness and drowsiness, as a side effect. 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...
