A member asked:
Why does my doctor want me to stay on my seizure medication if i'm not having seizures anymore?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Great question!: The idea of medicines for seizures is to prevent seizures. If you have a proven tendency to have a seizure, the medicines should prevent them. It is meant to help you prevent accidents.
