Arch Neurol 69:1563-1571, Hakami, T.,et al, 2012
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Substitution monotherapy in a patient experiencing ongoing seizures or tolerability issues is associated with sustained improvements in measures of QOL, psychiatric, and adverse events outcomes. Patients switched to levetiracetam do not have better outcomes than those switched to a second older AED.
