When epilepsy is uncontrolled inspite of taking adequate and appropriate medications, there are surgical treatments available to deal with it effectively. It is called as epilepsy surgery. When a part of brain which is responsible to producing fits can be recognised well on Mri as well as electrophysiological investigations, it can safely be removed using surgical means and at times epilepsy can be cured.

Treatment depends on the epilepsy. Details required. Usually medicines r given for 3 years from the last episode of seizures.
Ct scan/mri and eeg reports will decide whether medicine to be continued or not.

Im searching a best seizure medicine which has very low side effect and which do not effect to liver, kidney heart and others organs, my neuro doctor has offered me to choose one medicine from "phenytoin, carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine, eslicarbazepine, sodium valporate, topiramate, levetiracetam, lamotrigine, diavalporex, phenobarbitone, currently i'm taking clobazam 12.5 mg and lacosamide 200 mg per day but nothing improvement. I feels suddenly extreme difficulty till 30 to 50 second, I always remain conscious at that time and can talk with anyone but that difficulty what I feels which is unable to express in words. My mri report show: ring shaped cortical/ subcortical lesion with eccentric dot and blooming on swi and calcification on phage image in the left hippocampal formation with minimal peripheral gliosis/edema. Findings represent calcified granuloma most likely related to neurocysticercosis. Other diagnostic consideration is tuberculosis. 2. Mild increased signal and volume loss of the left hippocampus as compared to right. Finding are suggestive of left mesial temporal sclerosis. Clinical correlation is suggested" while I do eeg test when normal condition always show normal eeg but when 30-50 second extreme difficulty happen during eeg show abnormal ieds: left anterior temporal and there are few sharp wave discharge starting from left anterior temporal region. Now according some above report which medicine is the best for me please suggest. I want to change medicine lacosamide and clobazam. Thank you.

Every medicine affects some organ systems. As they get metabolised or excreted or turn into active metabolite. Levetiracetam does not affect liver and is well tolerated but it does negatively affect kidney function.

Hi, From Dehradun (uttarakhand) India. I used to be a chronic alcoholic person. As result, 2 nos. Blood clots found in my brain thru mri. In my right hand side of my brain, which were removed by doctors thru surgery and advised liver treating medicines. After 10 days consumption of the said medicine, I continued to be alcoholic as earlier and assumed that after the brain surgery, I am normal now. However, I started getting sequence of seizures only after one month of surgery. I spent about 5 days in the hospital release with new set of medicine "levetiracetam 1g" and "clobazam 1g" and "epsolin - phenytoin sodium tab ip" for 2 months. Now I absolutely stopped consuming alcohol. But since last few weeks, my feet are swelling to its normal size and causes pain too, since I continue to wore socks 24 hrs due to cold winters. And wear shoes at work too. Swelling and itching in my feet are now become a problem for me know.

Kindly continue medicines which your doctor has suggested for seizures.
Since you already had clot in brain , there is a possibility that you may be having clots in your leg that may be affecting the blood circulation in legs . Doppler examination of both feets can help . Also if your foot wear is tight than chnage it
Avoid prolonged standing on feets.
Leg elevation can also help to decrease medicines.
Decrease your salt intake in diet
