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.

Levetiracetam is supposed to be effective in controlling seizures during pregnancy and relatively free of teratogenic side effects. However, data on its efficacy and teratogenicity during pregnancy are limited
-women on antiepileptic drugs should receive counseling by neurophysician, regarding the risk of fetal abnormalities; folic acid supplementation is recommended.

Hi,
the suffix xr, er, sr, od and cr all refer to drug formulations which help to pronlog the duration of action of the drug. These letters stand for extended release, sustained release, once daily and controlled release formulations.
This is achieved by slowing down the release of the drug and its absorption from the intestine by various techniques.

Levipil (levetiracetam) is comparatively safer drug, broad spectrum anti epileptic drug. Only mild adverse events and safe to use when liver functions are deranged. During the switching period, you may get seizure as it may take a week or two for acquiring steady drug level in blood.

Good Morning ~
It seems like you are having domestic problems due to not being able to communicate with your husband. It also seems like you have hypothyroidism for which you take eltroxin and some form of seizure disorder for which you are on keppra and lamictal. I would think that he would empathize with your condition and you might want to choose to speak with him about how to speak with him. I am sure you probably have never asked him as to how to be able to speak with him to get a respo...more

Dear lybrate-user.
I would like to share that epilepsy/seizure is well know medical condition and every sufferer is advised to take anti-epileptic/anti-seizure medicine for it. Medicines would prevent further episode hence further damage to brain caused by fits.
On the other side alternative medicine until or unless prescribed by a specialist of that system, may cause much more side effect which we are and cannot be aware of.
In my opinion you should consult a neurologist, share you...more
