Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi sir, My son is 11 yrs old. We noticed that his legs started shaking for 40 to 50 sec during his sleep. He doesn't know that he was having such shakes in his leg. This occurred two times within 30 to 45 days period. We consulted neurologist and he advised us to take EEG and CT brain. CT was very normal. But EEG came as abnormal. So doctor prescribed to take levipil xr 500 mg once during night. This problem was diagnosed during 1st week of May 15. He started taking the tablet from then on. Till Sep 15 he didn't any problem. But on 16th Sep he got the shakes both in legs and hand. Then next day we took EEG once again. It was abnormal. Doctor prescribed to take 250 mg of levipil in morning and 500 xr in night.
He started taking them during morning and evening without fail. It is been 15 days and yesterday 30th of sep 15 he got shakes for around 40 to 50 seconds.
My question is when he is undergoing these tablets regularly the prolem should settle down but he got the same problem within short period of 15 days.why he is still getting the problem . Ideally if a medicine is given to cure a prolem then it should get reduced. I am very much worried. Sry for writing such lengthy message. But give me a suitable reply and your valuable suggestions.
Are there any side effects of levipil
Thanks anu.
