Hello,
From the information given it is clear that you have had an attack of epileptic seizure. Many a times the EEG may not show any obvious lesion in brain, but the attack may occur. Once that happens the anti-epileptic drug/s need to be taken for a long time.
That too without missing a single dose. Because if a dose is missed there can be a trigger or sudden stimulation leading to an attack of the seizures. So please continue the medication as advised for the number of days suggested. Later the dosage may be reduced, which your doctor will advise. Please do not miss a dose. It is very essential to remember that.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Prabhakar Laxman Jathar, Diabetologist
