Epilepsy from last nine years
Hello Doctors,
I have been diagnosed epilepsy 9 years back in dec 2010.
I was advised to start tab Epilex Chrono 1800 Mg a day, which later came down to 600 Mg per day after three years as advised by doctor.
I stop taking medicine few after few months without consultation and got another episode in Dec 2014.
Since then i am taking Epilex Chrono 1500 Mg daily. There is no episode noted in last six years.
What i want to know is will it be ho like this only? Do i have to take medicine for entore life.
All reports and EEG graphs are absolutely normal.
I am leaving a normal life but do not want to be on these tablets for entire life.

Though it is difficult to say whether we can able to completely stop this medications or not as it depend upon type of epilepsy, but definitely in your case medications can be gradually reduced
