Should Gardinal Be Continued For Epilepsy If Asymptomatic?
i was attacked epilapsy in the year 1982 & 93, I was advised Gardinal 60mg per day. All these years, I have not seen anything, I consulted a neuroligist to stop or continue, he advised MRI HEAD, Report says no symptoms, but neuroligist advised me to continue and says, it will not harm your health. Please advise
