On EncorateChrono 300 twice daily.there was no problem up to december and on december 21 2014 i had abnormal movements of face twitching for 1hr and right arm pain for 1 hr. and diagnosed as Scar Epilepsy and am given Encorate chrono 300 twice daily along with lacosam 50 twice daily. i am taking this since then. i am feeling shaking in my right arm. recently i moved from hyderabad to pune. and consulted a neurologist there in pune. he told me that the drugs i am using now can cause shivering. and prescribed me keppra 500 one in the morning and 2 in the evening. along with Mymi only 1 the evening and stop my regular drugs in a tapered way , reducing 1 tablet every 3 days. Is it ok to day that way ? Doesn t the new medicines have any side effects?and firstly why i sufferred with RCVS? I am a male 35Y 5 11 and weighing 80kg
