What Are The Side Effects Of Taking Leviteracetam ?
My father had right sided Brain hemorrhage and was operated for SDH and ICH because of fatal road accident. He is taking Leviteracetam since that accident and at present he is recovered well except some problems with memory. He is having some hallucinations and psychiatric behaviour, does leviteracetam causes such side effects?? In our last meeting with the neurologist, he had started Oxcarbamazepine. Current Medications : Leviteracetam 500 mg BID Oxacarbamazepine
Hello, I have gone through your query and understand your concern. It is very difficult to predict these symptoms like memory loss, hallucination and psychiatric behavior whether due to Hemorrhage or Levitaracetam.
A small number of people who take Leviteracetam for any condition ( may experience depression, suicidal thoughts/attempts, or other mental/mood problems. Brain hemorrhage also cause the similar symptoms even after recovery. In brain hemorrhage, the complete recovery is very rare and the patient may have symptoms occasionally or regularly.
Thus to find the cause thorough neurological examination is vital. If the neurological examination is normal, then switch over to other drugs may be helpful.
Hope this helps. Please write back for further queries. Wishing you good health.
