Taking Epilim For Epilepsy. Having Memory Issues. How To Diagnose My Symptoms?

Thanks for the query,
I am an Epileptologist responding to your query
Before I respond your query, I would stress that the exact medicine selection in the field of epileptology depends upon the type of epilepsy. A proper syndromic diagnosis is a must. Currently there is no role of empirical treatment.
The following possibilities are to be considered.
1. Side effects of medicines: Note that a combination of Epilim and carbamazepine can have such side effects. This can be resolved by optimizing one of these medicines in a reasonably good dose. This will depend upon the type of epilepsy (this can be diagnosed by MRI, EEG and the clinical data)
2. Such problem could (though unlikely) represent a brief focal seizure.
Please get a repeat EEG, visit your Epilepsy specialist/neurologist, and resolve this issue.
Hope this helps.


EEG_ Electroencephalogram just like ECG for heart.
EEG will help us guide you regarding medicine.
Best wishes.
