Hello thanks for asking from HCM for your health related queries

I can understand your concern. Levipil is Levatiracetam and the drug is a good anti seizure drug. The drug is an approved drug for use in partial seizures. The drug is a safe drug and it causes sedation, nausea, dizziness, restlessness etc symptoms in commonly used doses. In some rare patients the drug is known to cause rashes which can progress to serious drug reactions in few. So you should report to your doctor if any time during the therapy you develop rashes. Apart from these side effects the drug is safe to use and is free of serious side effects. Continue to take the drug as per your prescription.

Clobazam is also a drug used in seizure disorders. The drug is a benzodiazepine and is a safe drug. It is known to cause sedation, sleepiness, ataxia in commonly used doses. Take the drug as per your prescription and there is no harm in taking these drugs.

Thanks, I hope this helps you.
Take care
