Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted your symptoms and the current list of medications.
Your medications- epilim (valproate) and keppra (levetiracetam) are safe anti-epileptic medications, and do not usually produce similar symptoms.
Please get your BP checked up in lying down and standing position. A significant drop in BP on standing could produce these symptoms.
In addition, please also get an ENT examination done, as dizziness could occur with vestibular dysfunction also.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
