What Do My Lab Test Reports Indicate?

Brief Answer:
Your medications should be slowly tapered off.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I am Dr Sudhir Kumar, Neurologist and would try my best to help you.
I have noted your symptoms and investigation reports. Normal MRI and EEG are a good news. I agree that you do not have epilepsy. The reasons for seizure were stress and sudden stopping of ativan.
Currently, you should stop the anti-epileptic medications. However, this should be slowly done. Sudden stoppage of these drugs may produce seizures.
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,
