Should Gardinal Be Continued For Epilepsy If Asymptomatic?

i was attacked epilapsy in the year 1982 & 93, I was advised Gardinal 60mg per day. All these years, I have not seen anything, I consulted a neuroligist to stop or continue, he advised MRI HEAD, Report says no symptoms, but neuroligist advised me to continue and says, it will not harm your health. Please advise

try to see your gums . if they are swollen, you will have to stop gardinal as you have some toxicity, if the gums are swollen.ALSO A PLENTY of vitamic c is necessary for you to check gingival (gum hyperplasia)
now a days blood level of drugs can also be done in good labs. please get one done to be sure you are not over doing with the medication.if the results are normal just continue the prescribed does. however you must meet your doctor every 6 months ..(a good one)
