Neurologist,  's  Response
Hi Mirza,

Thank you for posting your query.

Epilepsy treatment requires medications to be used long term, even lifelong in most cases. So, I would request you to continue the medications, as per the neurologist's advice.
Regarding side effects, you can discuss them with your doctor. It is possible to make changes in the drugs as well as the dose to reduce or stop the side effects.
Most people with epilepsy lead normal lives.

Best wishes,
Dr Sudhir Kumar MD DM (Neurology)
