I am 33 year old and I have epilepsy from the age of 18. Epilepsy occurred due to stress, tensions during studies when I was in 12th. My mother or father don't have epilepsy problem. Epilepsy attacks comes in the night only. Attack remain for 2 minutes, during that white face comes out from my mouth and my feet and hands get shrinked and shaking, my eyes continuously stare and I get unconscious. After few minutes my consciousness returns and from morning I can do my daily work as it is. For 1st 10 years frequency was once in month but now from last 5 years it came to 1 year. I am taking medicines - Lamitor OD 100 mg[2 tablets in the morning and in the night] and Levera XR 500 mg[1 tablet in the morning and 1 in the night]. I want to know when I will get cure? When my medicines will stop? Does these medicines have any side effect? Just now I am newly married, does it affect during pregnancy? If yes then what should I do? Does Homeopathy helps me in it? If yes how?

Dear lybrate-user don't worry these medicines are very safe from pregnancy point of you but because you have frequent seizures ,you need to continue this medicines for a very long period. It's better to increase dose from 500to 750teice a day if your seizures are not controlled wish you all the best you can contact for any issues.
