Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My wife has a seizure disorder. She was on Dialanton at first, didn t help much then they put her on Kepra which worked pretty good. She still had seizures but less frequent. The only down side she lost a serious amount of weight. She weened herself off the Kepra but her seizures have returned. Any recommendations of another Med she might try to combat the seizuires?
