Sir, my 17 years old son is the patient of epilepsy. His last seizure took place in january 2018. He takes valparin chrono 200 200 in morning and 200 200 in evening. Total 800 mg in a day. Earlier he took 1000 mg (500 in morning and 500 in evening). Since the improvement is visible and no seizure for 1 year and six months so my question is- can we reduce his another 200 mg dose? If not, then when we can do this if there is no seizure?

To continue regular medication dosage. Usually after 3 to 4 years of proper seizure control one can think about any reduction of dosage if at all after consulting neurologist.
