Brief Answer:
Ciplar can be stopped.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted your medical details and current list of medications.

Ciplar (propranolol) is a beta blocker and is used for treating tremors and migraine. It is not used for treating epilepsy. So, in my opinion, you do not need ciplar and it may be stopped.

Dicorate ER and lonazep are used for treating epilepsy.

I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.

Wishing you good health,
