Hello doctor. I am suffering from epilepsy when I was a kid, I was In 6th grade. I continued my medicine till 10th. After two years of that I again got an attack when I was 18 and from then I am taking medicine (levera 1000 mg, symbol 20 mg, rivitrol 1 mg) daily till now. Now doctor said its Ncc, I have seen changes in my body - my hair was so thick and long and now they have turned very thin, they change to brown and just break. I am left with just 1/4th of my earlier hair. I have anxiety issues and infact I always get stressed and irritated easily. Infact now I am having pain in body also always feel the fatigue and null energy. Kindly suggest something please.

Dear friend, If you are told you had seizure secondary to NCC, we will call it provoked seizure due to the lesions in the brain. Now, since you are seizure free since last 10 years (approximately )we should consider discontinuation of your antiepileptic at this stage (Medication for preventing further seizure). However, I would recommend an earliest Neurologist consultation for definite decision regarding that. The last symptoms, you mentioned (pain / fatiguability) probably unrelated to seizure ,may be secondary to other medical problem like thyroid disorder/ neurological disorder like fibromyalgia etc / an underlying rheumatological disorder which needs proper evaluation and management. Wish you all the very best!

Hello Friend, Good that you are seeking help here. I agree with Doctor Debabrata. You consult your treating doctor on the further continuation of medicine. In parallel, you need to consult psychologist to manage your anxiety and stress issues. As body and mind are interlinked, any such emotional imbalance can affect your physical functions. Be positive. In parallel take some psychotherapies to mange your emotional health.

Epilepsy n treatment has nothing to do with anxiety. Try to treat anxiety without medication with psychoeducation. Because anxiety might make epilepsy control difficult to achieve by relaxation. By dietary suplement addition - by chnage in thinking process of self about self n others n life, coming out of the upset very f ast. Etc.
