Sir, my husband 44 years old, has got 2 paralysis, right side in sept 2018 and left side of body in mar 2019. Since then he is bedridden. But now improving with physiotherapy n massage. He is on levipil 1 mg bd, eptoin 100-tds, lacosam 200 - bd, armod 50 - od. Now how can we reduce the dosage? Now his pathological reports are completely fine. Bp is normally btwn 110/70 to 130/90 without specific medicines. What can be done now? Earlier he was having levipil 500 bd, but in mar 2020 he got jerky eye moment, as per doctors it was minor fit. So she doubled the dosage and told to continue this dosage till nxt 2 months. But becoz of lockdown and this pandemic she is not taking risk of reducing the dose. But on the other hand, this heavy dosage will affect his kidney, lever and other organs of the body. What to do? Pls suggest. Varsha. Mumbai.

It is good to know that his seizures are controlled with the above medicines. Since he has had a seizure recently in march I will not recommend reducing the dosage just now. Another seizure will be a set back and best avoided. Please also continue the medication for stroke prevention and physiotherapy.
