Post Herpetic Neuralgia needs aggressive treatment , if she is not responding to routine medical line of treatment she needs pain block in the form of intervention and as you have mentioned she is having other comorbidities so you can think pain block to get rid of pain as there is a limitation in increasing the dose of medication

You should talk to an epilepsy specialist before stopping it. The chances of seizure recurrence after stopping medications is about 50-50. Studying earlier Mris and repeating the eeg might help in predicting if she needs to continue taking medications.

Epilepsy medicine has to be for life in allopathy. Some herbals, alongwith your current regimen, help improve the condition without interaction. Pl talk in detail by booking call. There are chances, say in few months, that your specialist observes improvements and decides to gradually reduce antiepileptic medicine. Pl book talk.

I started having seizure from august 2019 and since that I have had 10 seizures but for the past 5 months I have been using carbamazepine and I use that every morning but recently I used it in the morning and later at night, I had seizure while I was sleeping and my bp went high. And after 3-4 hrs it came back to normal. Now the doctor I met prescribed azitop 500 mg and he is treating me of cerebral malaria and brain infection, just in case I have an infection in the brain, I have been told to do the ct scan but I have been unable to because of the location and its hard driving to the city. And ever since I started taking the azitop 500 mg together with the carbamazepine at night before bed. I find it hard falling asleep, and I have headache. And I also feel like my brain is working so fast. Please I need advice on what to do. I am tired of having a seizure. I am worried because I was told I will be on the antibiotic drug for a while but he never told me how long. And I don't think its a good idea. Please what can I do.

What is cause of your seizure need to determined first. Otherwise proper seizure control. Is not possible. It seems that you are having a long standing seizure disorder. Further proper choice of anti-seizure medication depends on the type of seizure you had. Anti-biotics are not effective for seizure control, as of today there is no evidence of using azitop for prolonged duration in any kind of seizure. I think you should stop it.

It totally depends on for how long you are on drugs. Whether you r having epilepsy episodes at present or when you had your last EEG done. Definitely without these and detailed history you should not advised to taper down your drugs but if you r having drugs side effects like weight gain or something else then you can switch over to other drugs.

There are plenty of veg sources of protein. You can take legume sprouts, chickpeas, kidney beans, green beans, almonds, walnuts, flaxseeds, sesame seeds etc. For protein. Whey protein is a supplement, not a substitute of good food. You can take it after having a balanced diet.
