Hi
Seizure disorder is managed quite easily with the variety of drugs available today. Leviteracetam is a good drug for seizure and is one of the safest available. Why did you discontinue it?
Oxetol (Oxcarbamazepine) is also safer and a good option but if you feel like an aura or fear having another episode then perhaps the dose is not adequate. You may increase the doasge to 300mg twice a day.
Also, seizure requires a long term treatment. The duration of treatment is at least two years from the last seizure episode after which gradual tapering of medication can be tried. But if it recurrs, then the meds may have to be taken for an indefinite period of time. Thanks!
