Brief Answer:
Probably aches related to Levetiracetam use.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.

I have read your question and understand your concerns.

In your case, symptoms you describe, can be related to Levetiracetam and/or oxycarbasepine use, however, there is need to evaluate/ exclude other probable conditions such arthritis and fibromyalgia first.

There is need to get tests done such plain films of any painful joint, complete blood work and sedimentation rate, rheumatoid factor, fibrinogen, in order to have a correct diagnosis of your condition.

I suggest you to discuss with your primary care Doctor about these issues.

Hope you found the answer helpful.

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Greetings.
