Can High Dose Of Levipil Cause Fatigue?

Hi, My mother had got seizure last year after which she was very serious and was hospitalized for nearly 2 months. She was prescribed levipil 250mg. After around 6 months she again got seizure and levipil dosage was increased. Again after a year she got seizure and again the dosage was increased to 1000mg. We are concerened because she is now very weak and easily gets tired. Can you help letting us know if high dosage of levipil and frisum are the reason for this?
