What Is The Treatment For Epilepsy?
I have been diagnosed with epilepsy. I don t lose consciousness or fit. I have a focal seizure of the esophagus. I lose taste in mouth. I do weird burp. Sometimes vomit. Eyes water. Episode lasts5-15 seconds. Use of sodium valproate has reduced occurrence dramatically but still get the odd one. Increasing of dosage mg does not seem to be stopping episodes...

that's a very atypical seizure. regardless the treatment for epilepsy is the same and you are one agent that appears to be working. talk to your doctor about maximizing therapy and possible second agents
