i had a surgery for growth of menunghis and this and grown and pressed into pituatary gland. This was in Feb. I was asked to take Levipil twice a day morning and night and due to shivering redued to one tab. Neurologist and other family doctors suggested I stopped this after 3/4 months gradually and I did so. I had heavy hair loss and other side effect. When I went to meet this neurosurgeon who operated on me he asked me to continue with two tabs i have restarted for last 5/6 days but am feeling very weak, mmod swing and am getting irritated and know my attitude to people is also changing. I have no taste for food though I am hungry and have change in voice because of blocked (not nose or throat)

Hello,

Drugs like Levipil and other seizure drugs can cause side effects like this. If you can not tolerate the side effects, you can switch to alternative anti-epileptics. Consult a neurologist and he will direct you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
