Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
Epilepsy is a chronic condition, which requires medications for long time. Oxetol is a good drug for epilepsy, and the correct dose is 10-20 mg per kg body weight.
MRI brain may be normal in many cases of epilepsy.
Please continue the medicines as per the doctor's advice. Your seizures will get controlled.
Best wishes,
