I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. There is no indication suggesting that patients with epilepsy are at a higher risk of adverse effects after receiving the covid-19 vaccine. Epilepsy medications are unlikely to interfere with covid-19 vaccines. This ensures that the vaccine should have no effect on how your medicines operate. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
