Hello lybrate-user.
Epilepsy is a disease in which varied types of fits may occur.
The treatment plan depends upon the type of seizures and the cause behind them.

Epilepsy itself affects fertility. Even the drug.
Advisable to freeze your semen samples snd meet an ivf doctor. Do semen test. Do fertity treatment like iui or ivf.

If the leg movement doesnot affect quality of sleep, better leave it alone. Need to know more about seizure to give an opinion.

You should not have stopped levera 250 without consulting your physician who has prescribed you this medicine. Consult him again n start medicine as per his advice. U can take homeopathy medicines side by side.

Seizure symptoms can vary widely. Some people with epilepsy simply stare blankly for a few seconds during a seizure, while others repeatedly twitch their arms or legs. Let's have a detailed discussion for better advice and medication plan.

Asked for male, 30 years old from Bangalore

I have been suffering from Idiopathic Generalized Epilepsy since 3 years and am continuously on medication. Recently my doctor advised me to switch from Levipil to Valparin slowly (decreasing Levipil and introducing Valparin). Is it OK to switch to Valparin as my seizures were mostly under control since last 1 year (except 2 cases where I got fits in-spite of taking medicines regularly) through Levipil. Thanks for your advice.

If you had seizures despite being on medication, yes you need to change it.

Asked for female, 35 years old from Delhi

My father was admitted in neuro icu 7 months back due to sudden seizures. He is 82 years old and has nph. He is taking eptoin 100 mg thrice a day and also levipil syrup 100 mg twice a day since then. But from last 20 days he is getting itching and skin rashes in his two hand and back. Is it side effects of levipil? He has missed 2 doses of levipil syrup yesterday. Is it dangerous?

He has to take medicines without fail and itching and rashes are due to drug allergy and need to stop it after chek u with treating doctor

Health Query

My wife is 25 years old, she is taking levipil 750 mg tablets and other tablets as well, She has never had any seizure before, but she was recently diagnosed with toxoplasmosis, and nurse say that they had seen her with a seizure (minor, but my wife argues that its false), hence the medication. My question is if she stops taking levipil, will it cause her the seizures again?

Dr. Amar Deep93%(15311 ratings)

Please note that the actual disease needs to be treated first.
Seizure is the effect of the disease.
Even if you continue Levipil the whole of your life the disease still remains untreated.
IF you stop it you will see seizures with her...

Asked for male, 48 years old from Kolkata

Dear doctor, my wife had gone through a brain surgery (aneurism/ coil inserted) in Aug 2016. Since then she is o.k. She was advised to take Levipil500 twice a day. In March 2017, she missed one tablet in afternoon and next day she had a seizure. Since then she is having Levipil 750 twice a day. Has she has to continue this medicine life long? Please advice.

At least a period of 2-3 years of no seizures before it can be tapered. Its a small price for a successful surgery of such a disease and good health.
