18 Year Old Having Epilepsy. Normal MRI And EEG. Taking Levera And Frisium. On Vinlep After Further Attacks. Advice?
I am 18 years old boy. I am an epilepsy patient since 2009. I had my first attack in march 2009 just 4 days before my board exams. After consulting my family physiian, he referrd to neuro and underwent MRI and EEG . The reports were normal. I was 104 kgs. then. I was advised to take Tab Levera 500 mg. twice a day and Frisium 10mg one at night. I was on for two years but there were slight attacks even after that. ( jerks). I again contacted Neuro, He advised 750 mg. twice a day. But since there were still slight attacks and one major one a week back i contacted another neuro. He has changed the tablet to Vinlep (600) twice a day. Pl. give your opinion . I have reduced my weight to 80 kg. I am 6 ft tall.
In my opinion if you are getting attacks even tho they are slight by taking the previous medication you should shift to other medication with suits you and prevent you from attacks. It is very difficult to choose which medicine is best for you because your MRI and EEG are normal. We have to select a medicine by hit and trial method. Hope you will get relief from the new medicine.
Thanks
