    After I have had a major stroke paralysis and then I started getting epilepsy and seizures every time and my dr recommend me to take levericateram one tablet in the morning and one tablet at night and after 3 years I have never ever ever had any episodes of epilepsy or seizures and that’s why I have now retracted to take only one tablet at night

    I’ve only been taking this for a couple days but noticed it’s been causing me fatigue/ lack of focus/ reduction in memory

    Why does no one ever talk about how hard these seizure medication are on your liver?

    I've been taking it since January and makes me nauseous, lethargic & really depressed.

    Great video , I've been taking 2000 mg daily for 21 years , just started having auras in 2020 after getting covid , now I still get auras sometimes now and then but no seizures thankfully , it seems like my frontal lobes retain alertness and ends the aura , not a good feeling but no seizure .
