3 antiepileptics are not usually needed unless they are resistant. You can take a neurology consult. Zenoxa would be the best choice. Other two needs to be tapered slowly over a period of time.

Neither levipil nor depakote cause skin color to lighten. If her seizures are controlled then please continue both medicines.

My son 18 months old is having seizure since he was 1 month old. initially doctor gave him phenobarbitone. And after six months seizure free, he has a long seizure after which medicine was changed to levipil. He was seizure free for another six months but lately in last one month he has had three seizures. All his reports of eeg, mri, blood tests have been normal. We are a little confused about the situation. Should we consult elsewhere or continue with the ongoing treatment. Will he ever be seizure free?

Seizures reported early in life like before 1 year of age are long lasting and there are different types of epilepsy syndromes may be associated but maximum are benign type so don't be panic but continue the medicines and consult a pediatric neurologist as early as possible.

Levetiracetam is supposed to be effective in controlling seizures during pregnancy and relatively free of teratogenic side effects. However, data on its efficacy and teratogenicity during pregnancy are limited -women on antiepileptic drugs should receive counseling by neurophysician, regarding the risk of fetal abnormalities; folic acid supplementation is recommended.

Since calcified granulomas are almost always benign, they typically don't require treatment. However, if you have an active infection or condition that's causing granuloma formation, your may need a treatment plan. For more detailed consultation, you may connect over a call. Thanks.

Neurocysticercosis cleared by drugs in 1997. Till 2008 no medical course was advised. In mid 2008 got sever attack, fits, 4m this started taking tegrital 200 cr 1-1 since 2009. Without any advise discontinued 4m last 3 years as I was feeling some laziness. Now on 26th got severe fit with tongue bite. After 3 days of hospitalization now instead tegrital cr 200 levipil 500 1-1 is suggested. So want your opinion on this. In the starting I was treated by the famous neurologist.

The first step in getting correct treatment is to get a correct diagnosis. Differential diagnosis list for Neurocysticercosis may include: Epilepsy bacterial meningitis primary cancer metastatic cancer tuberculoma etc. Often, the decision of whether or not to treat neurocysticercosis is based upon the number of lesions found in the brain and the symptoms you have. When only one lesion is found, often treatment is not given. If you have more than one lesion, specific anti-parasitic treatment is generally recommended. If the brain lesion is considered calcified (this means that a hard shell has formed around the tapeworm larvae), the cysticerci is considered dead and specific anti-parasitic treatment is not beneficial.
