Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.
Hypothyroidism and siezures (probably epilepsy) are tow totally different conditions. Both need to be treated with specific drugs. Treatment for seizures is invariably goes on for many years. As regards hypothyroidism, once it is diagnosed, the condition remains for lifetime. Therefore, treatment has to be continued for the whole life. It is essential to maintain TSH level around 3 to 4 mU/L. Then only all the symptoms of hypothyroidism are in check. T...more

My child is 13 years old male. He is suffering from Idiopathic Epilepsy about 5 years ago. He continued valparin chrono 300 for 3 years according to neurologists advice and then stopped for 1 years because his EEG report was good. But current EEG report shows again Idiopathic Epilepsy. Dr. Again advised to cont same medicine for another 3 yrs. But when I take 2nd opinion from a Paediatric Neurologist he advised to stop the medicine and advised for IQ test & psychometry test & counselling. I am confused that should I continue the medicine or not? If yes which medicine he should continue? I Want your valuable opinion.

There are many types of Idiopathic epilepsies. Some of them may require life long treatment so decision can not be made based on EEG or qny one test. One need to understand what epilepsy syndrome your child has and then make a decision.
Best wishes.

Asked for male, 35 years old from Bangalore

Hi, my penis gets erected during night while sleeping without any sexual thoughts or feelings. My penis will also get erect if I sleep in daytime. The erection will come down after awakening from sleep or passing urine. I get up 3 times for passing the urine. 6 months before, I had undergone abdominal scanning, it showed that my gall bladder is slightly distended (recently I was in medication for hydrocephalus. Tablets taken: valparin chrono, oxetol. Now these medicines have been stopped after hydrocephalus surgery.) please tell me what could be the problem.

Asked for male, 51 years old from Palakkad

My son is 15 years old - tall with 55 kgs weight. He has been diagnosed with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy about 9 months back. He is on valparin chrono 200 mg in the morning and evening. At night he is on lonazep 0.5 mg. He is very active and in sports and games too. He had 4 (less than one minute) seizures in the last nine months. How long must he continue the medication? Is the medication habit forming? Will epilepsy shorten the life of the patient?

You will have to continue the medication as long as he gets fits and his eeg is not normal. In this situation, you need not worry about habit-forming of the drugs.

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.
