A member asked:
Lack of sleep due to night terrors from levetiraceta. doc says melatonin, but doesnt seem to help any. any advice?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Talk to your doc : Talk to your prescribing doc to see if there are any dose adjusting options or changing completely levetiracetam with a different drug that might work for your condition. That should remove its side effect and will keep things simple. It is also make your doc aware of the possible side effects of a widely used drug nowadays and increase his or her experience.
