This medication has been a godsend for me. I used to have seizures multiple times a week, and now it's down to maybe once a month. I do get some stomach issues, but it's a small price to pay for the control I have over my life now.
I've been taking Levetiracetam ER for a while and I haven't had any major side effects. I do get a bit tired, but it's manageable. If you're considering it, talk to your doctor about monitoring your liver function. It's always better to be safe!
I've found that taking the medication at night helps with some of the drowsiness. It can be tough to deal with at first, but it gets better.
I've been on Levetiracetam ER for about a year now, and it's been a lifesaver. I've had fewer seizures and they're less severe when they do happen. I did experience some dizziness at first, but it went away after a few weeks. Stick with it, it might just take some time for your body to adjust.
This thread is why I love this community. So much helpful info. I've been thinking about switching to Levetiracetam ER but I'm nervous. How easy is it to switch back if you have bad side effects?
I've been on Levetiracetam ER for a few months and I've had some really bad mood swings. I've never experienced anything like it before. I've been trying to manage it with exercise and therapy, but it's been tough.
Seriously, why don't doctors warn us about these things? I wouldn't have been so scared if I knew what to expect.
