Dear lybrate-user,
it is difficult to comment whether it was a myoclonic jerk or not but I feel that it was not a myoclonic jerk, it was a reflex movement on suddenly viewing your shadow. You continue on same medication and follow up.

Hello lybrate-user,
there is absolutely no reason to have anxiety as you are taking the medication and have been seizure free. The episodes you had now are not suggestive of seizure activity I suggest you continue on the medication and stop worrying.

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.

Dera lybrate-user,
its not at all a good idea to take the medicatins yu are taking without the advise of a doctor. Keppra and tegrital are medication used for epilepsy. I am not sure what is your diagnosis, but it will be worthwhile giving all the facts and symptoms over time in greater detail and let doctor decide your medication rather than self medication.

Dear User, you could do that or there are dicorate er 250 mg tablets also available. Using that would be a better option. You can start off with using 1 and a half tablets initially then if you seem to still have a seizure, then i would suggest you to get the 250mg tabs. And yes, dicorate causes hairfall. It is one of the side effects. If you found my answer helpful, please leave a Positive feedback as it helps me with my Practice. Thank you.

Dear user, it could be a benign cyst that causes the fainting and seizure. I would suggest you to get an opinion from an endocrinologist as you have put your location as coimbatore. Most probably it will be a minor procedure to drain the cyst. You can always get a second opinion from 2-3 endocrinologists. If you found my answer helpful, please leave a positive feedback as it helps me with my practice. Thank you.
