Hello,
I will suggest you to continue the levipil. The presence of any clue in EEG and MRI brain is not mandatory for diagnosis of epilepsy. Two events are mandatory for diagnosis. It's best to get a mobile video or CCTV video of fits and you show it to your physician or a tell tale story word by word as seen by any person who was accompanying you at that time to be told to your physician. If doctor is confident that you had fits only then he has prescribed you anti epileptic. Mild laziness do occur with all anti epileptics. If you cant tolerate it, your doctor will either reduce its dose or he will switch you to some other drug.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
