I read your question carefully and I understand your concern.

It is true that you are taking three medications but Lamin is actually just a vitamin so pretty harmless, while Retam (piracetam) also has very few side effects and you shouldn't worry much. If you are really uncomfortable though you can safely interrupt them, while they are given in hope to help accelerate brain recovery, their help is only a modest one and aren't really vital.

Valprol on the other hand is given to prevent seizures and is necessary, it can cause some side effects like weight gain, hair loss, drowsiness, dizziness, diarrhea, blurred vision.

I hope to have been of help.
