I was diagnosed with gtcs and prescribed to take encorate chrono 300 mg twice daily. But after consulting in nimhans, I ve been diagnosed with syncope (no gtcs) and hv been asked to stop the medicine after consulting neurologist. I am now gradually decreasing the dose like 300 mg during day and 200 mg at night fir 10 days. Then 200 mg twice daily for next 10 days. Then 300 mg once daily for 10 days and finally 200 mg once daily for next days. Is it the correct way of stopping the medicine or shld I change the dose some other way? please suggest.

An neurological medication has to be withdrawn in a tapered fashion just as your neurophysician at nimhans has advised. Please follow it religiously.
