A member asked:
I am taking levetiracetam tablets due to meningoencephalitis i had about a year ago. for how long i would have to take this medicine ?

No easy answer: This is never an easy question to answer. If you had a seizure in the past your physicians will be more reluctant to rapidly take you off the anti-epileptic. Regardless, these medications should not be stopped abruptly and titrating off should be done in conjunction with your neurologist.
