Hi Dr. I hav epilepsy since last many years. I am taking medicines of zenoxa OD 450 right now. Earlier I was taking zenoxa OD 600 and 900 under my Dr. (neurologist) guidance in last one year. So Dr. I just want to know is it this decease curable and is there is any chances that the seizures will not occur if I stop medicines after consulting with my Dr? Please make me aware about it. Thanks in advance.

Epilepsy is a term to describe convulsions . There are many causes including family history. Sometimes no specific cause is detected. There are differnt types of epilepsy. The neurologist must have started your treatment after many investigations including General Tests and EEG, MRI etc. Presuming that there is no definite detectable cause. You are advised to be under the care of a Neurophysician, Take tablets without missing single dose. Keeping a record in diary of any episode.

As you know well ,Epileptic drugs should not be stopped suddenly, If higher doses are no longer required, Doses are tappered graduall, under guidance of Neurologists. in most cases chances of recurrence are low .but it also depends upon the type & cause of epilepsy.
