i have fits in sleep before two years, i underwent eeg and mra scan. no defects found. but the doctor suggested me to us eptoin 100 daily 2 at bedtime. after two years i take eeg again, the result was sames as before, so the doctor sugested to take one tablet for one month more and stop the medicine. and i stoped the medicine. but before 2 months i experienced one more fits in sleep. again i went to the doctor, he again suggested me to take the eptoin 2 each for further 2 years. My question is if I can reduce the dosage by one instead of 2?
Hi, Your seizure 2 years ago was probably a temporary abnormal electrical activity of the brain. To prevent it from affecting the body further you were started on anti-seizure medicine.  Now since you did not have any further episode, recent studies have shown that medications can be reduced in a stepwise manner.  This is possible only if MRI and EEG are normal, which is the same for your case. So I concur with your doctor and would advise on tapering the dose based on his advice. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.
