While driving, met with an accident which caused server bleeding and a deep cut on forehead. I consulted a nurologist in my place and he had given me some pain killers and levipil 750. I need the second consultation, if I am on the right medication.

There is limited role for long term prophylactic Antiepileptic medicines like Levipil after a head injury if there  are no active seizures. Usually after an assessment and EEG we can tapper your drugs.
