You can make frisium half in the morning and half at night for about 2 weeks and the make it half at night and stop. But do this under medical advise from your treating doctor and not on your own, as he/ she will be knowing the pros and cons of the same. Good luck.

Dear lybrate-user, it is good that you have not had any seizures after 2019 august. Unfortunately you have not mentioned the findings of ct/ mri. Mostly if the lesions have cleared the chances of seizure recurrence decrese with time. The chances of having a seizure are likely to be very minimal now. Many a times we stop the medication after such a long seizure free period but that decision can be taken after reviewing the initial imaging and a present imaging. The feeling that you have of occurence of seizure does not rquire anything. Do not worry about it.

Hello, the medication is able to control the epilepsy is a very good sign. The need is to continue in the follow up and take the medicines regularly. Unfortunately you have not mentioned the kind of epilepsy he has been diagnosed with. The treatment depends upon the kind / classification of epilepsy which is based on clinical, eeg and genetic profile etc. I suggest you follow up with the neurologist and clarify the dosage and be under follow up. Switching to homeopathic treatment is not a good idea and I suggest you should follow up with a neurologist.

Hi i'm ankit and I have been diagnosed with epilepsy by a neurologist and a good radiologist diagnosed it as a neuro cysticercosis. I have been epilepsy medicines since last 20 days like levipil, lacosam50, frisium and I think it's in control but I can feel it like it will take time. Actually I had seizures and mri report said two complete enhancing rings in right and one small in the left which were all not much big. I just wanted to ask like should I continue with these medicines for 5-6 months (like with only levipil and lacosam, not frisium) and them meet the doctor with a mri report or what should I do? I can still feel very little electrical type jerks in my head and left hand.

Neurologist,
Dear lybrate-user, you have epilepsy due to neurocysticercosis, but getting three drugs for same is not a good idea. The policy is to try to control with the maximum dose of one medicine, if seizures are still recurring than second medicine. Three medicines are rarely if ever indicated. You have not mentioned the onset and no of seizures you had and when was the last seizure. Your medication will need to be modified accordingly. Taking 3 medicines not a good idea. The time when medication will be stopped also depends upon the mri changes and last. Seizure. If you come back with these details I can guide you.
