Brief Answer:
What is the patient's body weight ?
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for getting back.
I have noted the clinical details.
I can assume that this is the first seizure since XXXXXXX 2016 (past 8 months).
Is she taking Levipil 500 mg twice daily regularly (without missing any dose) ?
What is her current body weight?
Is she sleeping well at nights (7-8 hours per night) ?
Please get back with the answers to the above. Based on that, I would be able to guide with her medications.
Best wishes,
Dr Sudhir Kumar MD DM (Neurology)
