Internal Medicine Specialist,  's  Response
Hello,

I will suggest you to look into the cause of epilepsy. I hope MRI brain would have been done. Please share its report if already done. If not please proceed for one with contrast. Also I will suggest you that best doctor for your problem will be a neurophysician, not a neurosurgeon. If there is no cause and your patient is fit free over last 3 years, his/her medication can be slowly tapered to discontinue.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Muhammad Faisal Bacha, Internal Medicine Specialist
