Suggest Remedy For Epilepsy
hello i have been diagnosed with epilepsy since 13 after one month of taking thyroxine. I then began to take epilim and last year as i only have fits very seldom took myself off the tablets and was ok till last week when i blackout in the shower and was unaware of what happened my husband found me not shaking or anything but i was sick and i bit my tongue. i really want to try to do without the epilim but i dont know what to do know. I have always had the fits in my sleep never whilst awake. thank u

As you had tounge bite with blackout in bathroom, Most likely you had seizure in bathroom. You will need to restart antiepileptic medication. If seizures were controlled before on tab levipil, it seems a good choice for you. Also levipil has very minimal side effects and intractions compared to other antiepilepsy medicines.
Dont force yourself to do without medicines. It can be disaster if some day you get multiple seizures in succession.
