If you're thinking of switching to this medication, make sure to discuss all possible side effects with your doctor. My doctor didn't mention the risk of suicidal thoughts, and I wish I'd known about that before starting it.
My doctor recommended keeping a side effect journal. Jotting down any symptoms you experience allows you to track the frequency and severity of any side effects, It can also help your Dr. adjust your dose or medication.
I've been on levetiracetam for a few years now, and I can't deny that it's improved my quality of life. My seizures are much less frequent, and I feel more in control of my epilepsy. My biggest issue is the flu-like symptoms I experience, especially when I forget to hydrate.
I've been on this medication for a while now, and while it's helped with my seizures, the side effects can be brutal. I've experienced dizziness and fatigue, but nothing too severe. Just wish the nausea would go away.
I had a severe allergic reaction to this drug. It started with a rash and then progressed to severe swelling in my throat. I had to go to the ER immediately. Scary stuff!
I had no idea that hallucinations were a side effect of this drug. My friend experienced it and it was terrifying for him. It's crazy how different people react to the same medication.
Seriously, the hallmark side effects like confusion and dizziness can be tough. It's important to take the lower dose to start and gradually increase. This gives your body time to adjust to the medication.
I think the biggest issue with any seizure medication is balancing the benefits against the side effects. The side effects need to be monitored especially in the beginning when you're adjusting the dosage.
