Hi Arun,
Welcome to healthcare Magic!
You might be knowing that the damage to brain cells as a result of stroke- bleeding or clotting is almost permanent because brain cell death is irreversible phenomenon.
Some patients reach hospital in time and the clot can be dissolved before the brain cells are damaged and they have mostly good results.
Your neurologist is treating you for the seizures. Seizures are a risk in these patients.
If you had a seizure already then you should try weaning under care of a physician.
if the phenytoin was started as prophylaxis means you did not have seizures but doctor started it for the risk of seizure then you can surely wean the drug dose under the care of a local clinician.
I hope the advise would be informative and useful for you.
Take Care!
