I fell down in office and got a minor external injury on my head. I was unconscious for couple of hours and got to know that I suffered partial seizures after I fell down. I was taken CT & MRI scans and was assured that there was no seizures defect in my brain or nerves. I have been using Levipil 500mg in the morning and Levipil 1g at night. When there is no Seizures defect should I continue using medicine? If yes, how long?
Hi, Thank you for using Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern about course of anti-epileptic medicine. Most of the Doctor prefer 3 to 4 year of anti-epileptic course after last seizure episode if no causative factor had been found for seizure. As you said, after fall and injury you had seizure but no defect seen in brain imaging you will be also considered in above said situation. It is also important to with Chat Doctor. Your treating physician will be in the best position to guide you in this course of anti-epileptic medicine. Hope you will find this helpful.
