Hello, there are two problems which need to be addressed. The first is continuation of torleva 5 years after the seizure. In majority of the seizures there is an attempt to withdraw antiepileptic medicine after a seizure free period of three years. Only very few epilepsies requiore medication life long. Pleas consult with all your details to your doctor and if torleva can be stopped it will be better. The medication you have been prescribed for you are a combination of antidepressant and anxiety, you require only lonazep for same as anti anxiety medication may be increased if required and stop ventab.
