A member asked:

I have epilepsy from the past three years. and my symptoms shows its tonicclonic seizures. its not continuous and recently after 2years i got it again?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Re-evaluation: Most seizure breakthroughs are due to either non-compliance with medication or medication in need of change. A young individual with seizures needs a neurology evaluation to look for causes of the seizures and make sure medications are adjusted appropriately.
