How Can Seizure Disorder Be Treated?
My wife has a seizure disorder. She was on Dialanton at first, didn t help much then they put her on Kepra which worked pretty good. She still had seizures but less frequent. The only down side she lost a serious amount of weight. She weened herself off the Kepra but her seizures have returned. Any recommendations of another Med she might try to combat the seizuires?

Hello,
As per your clinical history is concerned, please follow like this-
1) Do a clinical examination by your treating doctor [Neurologist] and to confirm exact status do [MRI scan and Video EEG Test].
2) Discuss with your doctor for combination medications [lamotrigine and valproate] for best results. Start with a small dose and gradually increase it to achieve control.
Do follow lifestyle modifications like this -
1) Try to avoid smoking and alcohol
2) Make a regular sleep pattern and sleep more than ten hours at night.
3) Make a plan to reduce stress and do regular exercise, yoga, and meditations.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Uday Nath Sahoo
