Epilepsy(Eye flicker)

2018-01-10 17:40:21
I am suffering from epilepsy, an acute one. But severe in sense that my eyes flicker prolonged when comes in contact with sunlight or any kind of extra light. And during my eye flickering time, My body do not responds properly, as in a state of shock. Its duration vary from 1-3 seconds. I am a regular user of medicine LEVIPIL 500mg three times a day. I heard about DXN Spirulina, Ganocelium & Reishi Gano. Will they function better than Levipil? Or I can take both medicines simultaneously?
