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.

Dear lybrate-user,
your husband is suffering from epilepsy with generalised tonic clonic seizures and this is inspite torleva he is taking. The dose of torleva can be increased to a maximum of 3.0 gm /day, depending upon the weight of your husband. I feel ths dosage of medicine needs to be increased straightaway and could have decided how much to give if I knew his weight. However this is the best solution for your husband.
