The side effects have to be balnced against the utility of the medication. I do not hink you can decrease the dosage oi also cannot make out the correct dosage and the side effects you are facing. In epilepsy reduction is n dosage decision has to be taken very cautiously. You have to tell the duration of medicine dosage ypur weight and the side effect for guidance.

Encorate is known to cause weight gain and pcod. The dose can be adjusted or the medication can be changed in consultation with a neurologist. But this depends on the seizure control. Please feel free to contact for further evaluation.

In case of epilepsy since you are on meds for 3 years, if the seizures are completely controlled and eeg is normal, a trial of gradual taper of medicines can be given. But always taper medicines after consulting your neurologist. And there is always a chance of recurrence so that risk has to be borne in mind.

They are different type of drugs and in your case need both to be taken. Keep seeing your neurologist every 3 months he will recognise side effects like weight gain etc. Also read the instructions with the packet it will tell you side effects.
