Very difficult to understand which is the green tablet, but whatever it was it was controlling the seizures so you can start it but do it in consultation with the doctor who has prescribed these medication.

Dear lybrate-user,
a combination of three drugs is not a very good idea and is rarely required. You have not mentioned the kind of epilepsy you are having, no of seizures in last 6 months if any, your weight. You must also ask for help for suicidal tendency and discuss it with your family and psychiatrist if required. But surely your medication needs to be reviewed and streamlined as it seems to be totally haphazard.

Hello lybrate-user,
I understand you have epilepsy and are on medication levitracetam how ever I do not understand why you can not undergo hair transplant. Thjere may be some drug interactions with the drugs prescribed at the time of hair transplant but I am sure this can be obviated by careful selection of the medications.

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you.
Anything that interrupts the normal connections between nerve cells in the brain can cause a seizure. This includes a high fever, high or low blood sugar, alcohol or drug withdrawal, or a brain concussion. But when a person has 2 or more seizures with no known cause, this is diagnosed as epilepsy.

Seizures can happen after a stroke, a closed head injury, an infection such as meningitis or another illness. Many times, though, the cause of a seizure is unknown. Most seizure disorders can be controlled with medication, but management of seizures can still have a significant impact on your daily life.

The side effects have to be balnced against the utility of the medication. I do not hink you can decrease the dosage oi also cannot make out the correct dosage and the side effects you are facing. In epilepsy reduction is n dosage decision has to be taken very cautiously. You have to tell the duration of medicine dosage ypur weight and the side effect for guidance.

There's no cure for epilepsy, but early treatment can make a big difference. Uncontrolled or prolonged seizures can lead to brain damage. Epilepsy also raises the risk of sudden unexplained death. The condition can be successfully managed.

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.

Although there is little evidence that a balanced diet has a direct effect on seizures, it provides essential nutrients and keeps our energy levels steady. A balanced diet may also help you to keep a regular sleep pattern and keep active, both of which are good for overall health.
