I am Debendra, 37 years from India. I am an epillepsy patient . The first fits stoke I had in 1988. Generally the fits strokes were happening in the month of January and August, only and only during the first stage of sleep. Never ever I had a stroke when I am awake. As per the CT scan repot there is a calcified focus in the left posterior parietal region possibly old healed granuloma . Since 1997 till 2002 I was taking Zen Retard 400 mg 1 tab/day. Then till 2005 I took Zentard 200 mg 1 tab/day. During these days though i was feeling the pre stroke symptom such as blinking of eyes for few seconds, feeling confused, stress , an odd feeling of flying the body in air, feeling of the hands are too long etc, during the months of January and August only, but never had a fits stroke. Then the doctor advised to stop medicine. 1 month after stopping the medicine, i had a fits stroke. Ofcourse it was followed by sleeplessness for 2 days and intese work pressure. Then the doctor advised to continue Zen Retard 200 mg 1 tab/day again. I was frustrated and did not see the doctor after that and continued Zen Retard 200 mg 1tab/day till April 2009. Then stoped taking medicine. But 15 days after stopping the medicine, I had a fits stroke. I saw the doctor. The EEG report was normal. The advised it may be because of extra mental stress and lack of adequate sleep. I was prescibed Lonazep 2mg 1tab/day. Since then I have been taking that medicine. Now I have no pre stroke symptom anytime expect feeling very uneasy sometime when lack of sleep due to stress. But perhaps due to impact of medicine I get severe body pain in the morning. My previous doctor did not respose good on my last visit. So I dont wish to see the same doctor. What should I do now? By nature I am very calm, more patience but now a days because of family and personal tensions I feel irritated and loosing the patience. I am physicaly very fit and atheletic. Please advise.
