Aneurysm Clipping Questions

Phenytoin and phenobarbitone do not cause erectile dysfunction. You will have to visit an andrologist for correct approach, diagnosis and treatment of erectile dysfunction.

The guidelines are to stop medicines after a 3 years of last attack. I guess you have not had seiure at all and the medicine was prescribe as a precaution. Ideally youi should stop the medicine, it has to be tapered down gradually over 3 months, this with the clear understanding that though the risk is less nobody can guarantee that seiure cannot occur, but hen nobody can guarantee that while on medicine you will not have any seizure. I suggest you taper medicine and take precautions.

Hello,
it is not clear that whether you were taking medicine when the child was in utero, if the baby is born and is healthy then there is no problem.

Please be confident about not having atumour and take the medicines prescribed regularly.
