My wife has been having seizures for 2 years now...SHAKING EYES ROLL BACK, SLEEPS AFTERWARDS FOR APPROX. 3-5 HOURS AFTERWARDS. She had these back 22 years ago but we got them stopped by taking Depakote and Dilantin...Seizure free for a year and doctor slowing reducedd meds until she was off totally... and was good up until 2 years ago. This doctor is giving her Gabapentin and Depakote, which is really doing no good. She has them almost every day, but he doctor keeps her on this meds. What would suggest doing at his point ?? Thank you in advance Rod G.
Thank you for asking Chat Doctor. My name is Chat Doctor. I would like to get Fresh ct scan brain plain and EEG brain. Also blood valproate level... If she is not responding to above medicine then switch her on to Tab. Levetiracetam 500\u00a0mg twice or thrice according to frequency of seizure. Also give Tab. Carbamazepine 200\u00a0mg thrice a day...I hope your wife will be seizure free within some months. Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything is not clear. Thanks.
