Hello!
I read the question and understand your concern.
I would recommend another blood routine test to rule out metabolic changes like uncontrolled high blood sugar which can cause increase in seizure frequency.
Another matter is the levetiracetam dosage. It may need to increase. An EEG may be needed.
Hope to have been helpful!
Thank you for using HCM!
