Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Are The Effects Of Levroxa If Taken After A Break?
I have stopped Levroxa for my husband since a month without Doctor s consultation. My husband who is a paralytic & suffered epilepsy thereafter shows positive sign. My Doctor says that this is a life long medicine. Can I start this medicine after a break.
It can cause withdrawal convulsion. Levroxa is an anti-convulstant commonly prescribed to control seizures and hence it should be taken on daily basis as prescribed. Taking a break is not safe as this may lead to withdrawal seizures which may become worse.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali, General & Family Physician
