Hello
Welcome to HCM
Your wife has problems of seizure. She is taking medicine for them. She is on decorate 500 or sodium valporate. She is taking right medicine for seizure. Most of guidelines advocate to prescribe medicines for at least 3 years seizure free period. As she is symptom free for 1 year, as per my advise continue giving her medicines for at least 2 more years. For further details visit a Psychiatrist or Neurologist.
Thanks
