Hi Chahald2,
Have you heard the axiom- If you try to ride two horses then you come to ground!
The previous fellow managed her so well and infact kept her free of fits for three long years and kudos to him he also was tapering the doses;
And still great he had removed two of them successfully!
I salute him!
Thats the standard of care for Epilepsy management- first keep the patient fits free and after two years slowly start a tapering till tolerated.
The new fellow either did not took full history or you have concealed something to win over the weakness of leg, but Normabrain itself can cause epilepsy, please stop it and ride your first tried and time tested horse only.
Take Care!
