What Is The Best Medication For Fits?
Sir, Myself suffering of fits when I feel some fever or some acidity gas. When I feel that Imight suffer fits then I sits or lay down on floor, After some time fits duration finishes thenI became normal and feel week. If again I stand then some time againit repeats. I had consulted a neurologist ,He had suggested to take ENCHORATE CHRONO 300 Twice for five years continuously. If it apperas again then again start for 5 years. Even after 7 years , it does not stopd permanently . In between Do fits come but frequency has reduced. So Please advise me , should we agaion continue same medicine or go for higher medication like Enchortae Chrono 500. Pl advise me. Regards Manoj Sharma

Dear Mr Sharma thank you for contacting us.
Sorry you had been suffering with this for such a long time. there are more cleaner and newer medications are available for seizures (fits) these days. You no need to stick to enchorate chrono (Divelproex).
Have you see the neurologist recently ?
As your seizures are not still controlled well I strongly advise you to see the neurologist and ask for other medications.
Mean while please do not drive, do not do high risk jobs, and always carry a bracelet mentioning that you suffer with seizures.
Take care

Hello manoj,
possibly you have prodrome and aura before seizure occur.
As you say frequency of seizures diminished with encorate chrono 300 mg twice daily, but seizures not stopped completely. It may required dose adjustment based on your body weight and serum level of valproate.
I advice you to get
1. EEG
2. Serum valproate level
3. serum ammonia level
also mention your body weight with these test reports
