Epilepsy Diet Questions

Asked for male, 26 years old from Guwahati

Hello respected doctors. I have been taking zapiz 0.25 half tab since last couple of months. Before that I used to take zapiz 0.25 full tab and before that zapiz 0.5. My doc is gradually decreasing my dose. And I am ok with it. Currently I take half tab of zapiz 0.25. I am a non alcoholic drinker. I drink maximum once or twice a year in a function. Now my question is can I drink moderate amount of alcohol only once while I am being treated with zapiz. I am going on a picnic with my friends and would want to drink a couple of pegs. Is it ok and safe.

It is good that your medication is being decreased gradually, drinking is not contraindicated for you but you should drink maximum 120 ml once a week.

3 antiepileptics are not usually needed unless they are resistant. You can take a neurology consult. Zenoxa would be the best choice. Other two needs to be tapered slowly over a period of time.
