Hello,
This drug is used to treat partial seizures. But the drug won't cause seizures. It may can cause allergic reaction, drowsiness, unsteadiness , tremors and memory problems.
Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is.
Please don't stop the drug abruptly.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
