There are certain side effects of Levipil such as excess anger, psychosis. In addition 500 mg once daily is a suboptimal dose if sure an adult of around 60 kgs. One fainting episode may not always be a seizure and requires a detailed work up.

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.

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.
