The cause of seizure in an adult, is usually Epilepsy, the diagnosis of which is based upon good description of the seizure and EEG supported by the AT and MRI.The headache and nausea could be due to the side effects of Epitoin. The use of Albendezole causes interest as it is used for neurocysticercosis, which is treatable and easily diagnosed on CAT/MRI.These side effects will go away as u get used to the drug and the dosage is adjusted,The sleep disturbances are also due to epitoin. Surely the drug is essential, the dosage adjustment has to be done, so pl follow the instructions, which would have been given. No driving swimming and working on moving machinery parts.
