Your seizure seems not fully controlled and may need a dose escalation. Your tiredness might be due to low sodium due to oxetol. The skin problem is probably tinea/ringworm. Please consult a local neurologist to optimise medication and get some blood tests to exclude any systemic cause of tiredness.

The dose of levera that you are taking is too less and if its effective for you its ok you can continue it for time required but has it been advised to be taken for life long because there are not many indications for same.

Hello, Its a myth that epilepsy medicines have to be taken life long as a sweeping statement. Let me explain to you in simple terms Epilepsy has many kind of different types of conditions, the classification of epilepsy is very wide.there are many different type of epilepsies and are classified on the basis of their clinical presentation and EEG findings. Once appropriate medicine i started in correct doses majority of the epilepsies can be fully controlled some may require life long medicine while others can be stopped after a seizure free period of 2-3 years. So the first thing will be to classify her Epilepsy, give appropriate medicine in correct doses and avoid factors precipitating seizures. So if Levera fits all the parameters then she should be OK

Hello, the dosage is not clear to me, tegritol is usually administered as 10 mg/kg body weight three times a day, and levera can be given upto 3 gm / day. Unfortunately levera is known to have behaviour problems and aggressiveness could be its side effect. You will require review of your medication and I suggest you consult your doctor who prescribed these drugs to you or come back to me with full details of the seizures and medication in correct dosage.

My mother is a patient of epilepsy since 1981. She was taking green table. But from few months back doctor told her to stop the medicine as she was not having any attack. But suddenly few days back again she got the attack and then doctor told her to take levera 500 and eptoin 100 mg. She is a chronic kidney disease patient. Now my question is can she take green table only at night time instead of these medicines.

Very difficult to understand which is the green tablet, but whatever it was it was controlling the seizures so you can start it but do it in consultation with the doctor who has prescribed these medication.

You should not take any medicine without doctor's advice. It may be harmful and can lead to other complications. But we have to look into the details of the problem. Let's have a detailed discussion to ensure proper treatment.

Hi, there are few centres where they work up refractory epilepsy cases. They basically do mri scans, video eegs and other tests to confirm the location of spread. It may be curable with a surgery life long if maximum dose of medications is not helping you. Thanks.
