Hello hou are all here , I would like if it is possible to cure epilepsy by reducing the dose of medication i use ( one of tegretole 400 mg ) with a long time without resorting to surgery. ? I don't have any types of seizures for more than 2 years this is plan of my doctor i don't know if i will succes or no . i hope find who have same of my situation .?
Try reducing the Med SLOWLY. If you continue to be seizure free, GREAT! If not, you can always add back the Med.
Let your Neurologist how you are getting on with your epilepsy and let them know about how long you have gone without seizures, and suggest to them, what about lowering your dosage.
If You're Seizure free for awhile Your Neurologist might begin the process of weaning off the Meds slowly. It's between You and Your Dr.
Exercise. I would stay on the meds that You're on. Seizure free for 2 years now? The only reason for Surgery is if You're doing bad with meds.
I’ve been informed by my dr that reduces in medication are not related to your weight. I was SO disappointed cause I’ve lost 60 lbs. I also know epilepsy is a condition that has no cure. I’m well controlled on my meds, so I’ve not had to take surgery into consideration. I’d much rather experiment with different med combinations. I’d do research on the surgery, taking in consideration your symptoms and even get other opinions.
