Hello,
the dosage is not clear to me, tegritol is usually administered as 10 mg/kg body weight three times a day, and levera can be given upto 3 gm / day. Unfortunately levera is known to have behaviour problems and aggressiveness could be its side effect. You will require review of your medication and I suggest you consult your doctor who prescribed these drugs to you or come back to me with full details of the seizures and medication in correct dosage.
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.
Very difficult to understand which is the green tablet, but whatever it was it was controlling the seizures so you can start it but do it in consultation with the doctor who has prescribed these medication.
Mild depression can be treated without medications by trying psychotherapy methods like cognitive behavioural therapy. Usually moderate and severe depressive symptoms require medications along with CBT. Good luck

Hello lybrate-user,
low grade glioma, as the name indicates ,is a tumor which is slow growing. Clinical manifestations depends on the site of brain affected. Frontal lobe-right frontal lobe controls movements of left side of body. So what you have developed is seizures affecting left side of body. As the tumor size increases slowly, seizure frequency will increase and may not get controlled. A tumor in operable stage is a blessing. Do not be afraid of surgery. Beyond a limit, it will enter into inoperable stage. So better to get the surgery done.
