Levitracetam drug is a broad spectrum antiepileptic drug, daily dose is up to 3000gm, you have taken only 1500gm, nothing to worry, it's the best tolerated drug with minimal side effects you wait for atleast 12 hrs to take the next dose as the drug is eliminated from the body in the time of 8 hrs it's t half time.
