Mechanism of Action: The exact mechanism of action of levetiracetam is unknown, but it is thought to work by binding to synaptic vesicle protein 2A (SV2A), which is involved in the release of neurotransmitters. This may help to reduce the abnormal electrical activity in the brain that causes seizures.

Get enough sleep. Sleep deprivation is a common trigger for seizures, so it is important to get at least 7-8 hours of sleep each night.
Avoid alcohol and drugs. Alcohol and drugs can also trigger seizures, so it is best to avoid them altogether.
