Adverse Reactions

Levetiracetam is generally well tolerated, but may cause drowsiness, weakness, unsteady gait, coordination problems, headache, pain, forgetfulness, anxiety, irritability or agitation, dizziness, mood changes, nervousness, loss of appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and changes in skin pigmentation.
Serious side eﬀects may include depression, hallucinations, suicidal thoughts, seizures that are worse or diﬀerent, fever, sore throat, signs of infection, double vision, itching, rash, swelling of the face. A study published in 2005 suggests that the addition of pyridoxine (vitamin B6) may curtail some of the psychiatric symptoms.
A rare side eﬀect of Levetiracetam is a pins and needles sensation in the patient's legs, similar to neuropathy.
