What Causes Fatigue After Taking Leveritacetam For Partial Seizures?

Not related to levetiracetam;instead ear infection
Detailed Answer:
Hi there,
It is normal to feel a bit fatigued after starting levetiracetam. You have started to use it for the past 2 weeks with a lower dose. So, there might not be a problem for your body with levetiracetam use.
Having sharp pains on your left ear, feeling your neck stiffed and difficulty to open your mouth, all these symptoms might be related to a possible ear/throat infection (whether viral or bacterial).
So, I advise to get checked by an ENT specialist or your family doctor in order to evaluate the status of your throat/ear and upper respiratory tract and get proper treatment. You might need local (ear) drops and oral medications.
Meanwhile, I advise to:
- take lots of fluids (tea, water, juice)
- have more rest
- take multivitamin supplementation (B complex, vit.C, Calcium, vit.D, etc.)
- take good care of your oral cavity and throat
- take acetaminophen
Wish fast recovery!
