Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
Epilepsy is a chronic disease and medications are required for a long time, even lifelong in some cases.
The choice of medicines depends on the effficacy and any side effects.
Valparin and levipil are good and safe medicines for treating epilepsy.
Knee pain is not related to the epilepsy or the medications you are taking.
Low hemoglobin can be treated with vitamin and iron supplements.
Please follow the advice of your doctor.
Best wishes,
Dr Sudhir Kumar MD DM (Neurology)
