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 I had one episode of seizure on 2016 aug since then I had levetiracetam 1000xr once a day for 3 year and then levetiracetam 750xr once a day and now I am taking levetiracetam 500xr once a day and remylin d3 once a day. I have pain in hand, leg and feeling twice in hand and leg and have hypnic jerk while sleeping and have feeling like I will drop material. And also getting scared for fraction of second with noise or accidentally seeing any object (shadow of myself, cars) and when I eat food, juice so I feel normal but after half hour again all this thing starting. My vitamin b12 is 759 (normal range 200-770) vitamin d3 is 48 (normal range (30-100) is this because of seizure problem or something else? And why my hang and leg is paining?

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.

My mother is a patient of epilepsy since 1981. She was taking green table. But from few months back doctor told her to stop the medicine as she was not having any attack. But suddenly few days back again she got the attack and then doctor told her to take levera 500 and eptoin 100 mg. She is a chronic kidney disease patient. Now my question is can she take green table only at night time instead of these medicines.

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

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.

I am sriharsh. Age is 38 years. Weight 96 kg. Height is 5 ft 10 inch. Suddenly I got unconscious for 3-4 minutes. During that time face slightly moves to one side, bites my tongue hardly, body severe. All this happens suddenly without any symptom. This happened 2 times with me. 1st in 11th march and 2nd in 7th july. After mri scan report came that there is a low grade glioma in frontal right lobe. Is it a tumor, is it cancer? I am afraid of brain surgery. Is there any medicine to cure this? Yeah I am taking levera 750 tablet 2 times a day since 10th july. Please suggest me. mobile.

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.
