Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
After a head injury, the scarring of brain due to injury can result in seizures. Since on stopping the treatment, your wife had seizures again, it is best to resume the treatment with Gardenal. The side effects of the medicine are many times lesser than the risk of damage due to seizures.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
