You should talk to an epilepsy specialist before stopping it. The chances of seizure recurrence after stopping medications is about 50-50. Studying earlier Mris and repeating the eeg might help in predicting if she needs to continue taking medications.

What is cause of your seizure need to determined first. Otherwise proper seizure control. Is not possible. It seems that you are having a long standing seizure disorder. Further proper choice of anti-seizure medication depends on the type of seizure you had. Anti-biotics are not effective for seizure control, as of today there is no evidence of using azitop for prolonged duration in any kind of seizure. I think you should stop it.

Dexamethasone is a steroid. It should not be continued for a long time. Please do Serum Cortisol levels which will give an indication of how much steroid has been absorbed in the body, Based on the levels the next line of treatment can be given. Please donot take oral steroid for a long period as it will decrease your immunity and you will be prone to infections.

Dear lybrate-user,
I am very sorry to hear that you lost the pregnancy. This fall in beta hcg happens in case of a failing pregnancy. There are many reasons why this can happen. Most commonly this happens in early pregnancy due aneuploidy in the embryo. I do not think it was because of stopping the dexamethasone tablet. If you are having repeated blighted ovum or missed abortions, please discuss with your doctor, so that they can suggest further testing if required.

Dear Mr. Hisham,
Excessive mucus production can be due to many causes. Since you have not mentioned anything about the tests that you have undergone, I will advice you to meet a good Chest Specialist. Basic Investigations needs to be done. Depending on the results doctors can take further call on your management. I hope you will understand it may sometimes be time consuming to get an accurate diagnosis and relief. All the best.

It is better to take these injections as they help for lungs of baby in case premature delivery happens. Doctor is supposed to weigh advantages against disadvantages before prescribing. Doctor prescribes only when advantages expected are more than disadvantages expected. If you focus on disadvantages should be prepared to let go advantages.
