hi,
Levipill is levitracetam, a drug which increases the seizure threshold. Its action on brain brings some side effects like sedation, ataxia etc.
There is no association of hormonal imbalance with levitracetam and studies have consistently proved it, even though some women claim it to be true.
You may search for other causes.
