Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I think you are referring to juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME). JME is well treated with medications such as levetiracetam (which your daughter is taking) and sodium valproate.
Levetiracetam is a safe and effective drug for treating JME.
Generally, no multivitamins are required. However, you can use multivite woman or Revital, or any other similar multivitamin available in the market.
Please ensure adequate sleep of 7-8 hours at night.
Please get back if you require any additional information.

Best wishes,
