Hello Timothy I am 30 years old, celiac disease, taking birth control for 3 years1.I have headache- it started 9 days ago. Before that i had one episode for 4 days. I had also one episode in september where i had dizziness and headache for 5 days. I feel it all over- on forehead, on temples, scalp, also at the back of the head. The pain is moving - i never feel it on 2 spots in the ssme time. Most of the pain nature of pain is pressure type. And most of the time pain is mild.

Levetirace-tam: Why do i have to wait 6 months to drive my car again after initiating this medication for absence seizures?
JA: The Doctor can help. Just a couple quick questions before I transfer you. Has the seizures been stable or getting worse?
Customer: They have been stable and infrequent.
JA: Has levetiracetam helped at all? Any side effects?
Customer: I dont have any side effects. I have only been taking this med since November 1, 2020 and I have not had any absence seizures.
JA: Anything else in your medical history you think the Doctor should know?
Customer: In January 2020 I had a TIA and this is supposed to be the eventual results of this. I already take medications to control blood pressure, depression, nt clotting and lowering cholesterol.
