Better consult your physician and then change any medicine. Don't take risk of taking treatment from a doctor who does not know about your case.

Brivaracetam can surely cause mood swing though less than levetiracetam. However, occasionally levetiracetam can cause less behavioral disturbances when compared to brivaracetam .there are many antiseizure drugs that does not worsen mood or anxiety like lamotrigine or carbamazepine. These two drugs rather stabilize mood. Alternatively, levetiracetam can be restarted after discussing with a neurologist as levetiracetam dose can be increased more that what your son was taking.

Hello,
though this kind of problem as a side effect of levera is not recorded and as you have been taking medicine for years and the dose has been decreased the chance of side effects of this nature are less. This is a kind of startle syndrome and does not seem to be part of seizures or side effects some medicine I think adequate rest and proper sleep may get rid both of your pain and startle syndrome, best to review after 2 weeks.

Levetiracetam is pregnancy category b3. It is not linked to major birth defects. Also it does not put the unborn child’s cognitive or language development at risks according to latest studies. This is extremely encouraging for young women who are responsive to levetiracetam.
You may plan a pregnancy while on this drug without much anxiety.

You should not take any medicine without doctor's advice. It may be harmful and can lead to other complications. But we have to look into the details of the problem. Let's have a detailed discussion to ensure proper treatment.

Hello-
women taking levepsy may develop pcos, while men may have sperm abnormalities and/or sexual dysfunction. Liver enzyme inducing aeds may also cause menstrual and sexual disorders in women and sexual dysfunction in men. Newer aeds are much safer but studies still suggest reduced sexuality and erectile dysfunction.
