If you are having cysticercosis at present, you need to be treated for that with albendazole and praziquantel. Regarding your anti epileptics, levipil can cause mild lethargy, nasopharyngitis and some emotional disturbance. It is relatively safe compared to epsolin, which can cause many side effects including liver failure. Once you are fully cured of cysticercosis, the anti epileptic drugs can be tapered.
