Refill: Not sure why meds not refilled, but if you have seizures you need to take meds. Choices to get refill include: calling doctor or on call doctor, urgent care, er, or contact HealthTap

Dangerous: you can have filled at an ER or urgent care. Do this immediately. Please plan ahead your appointments so you dont run out. Seizure can be deadly.

Be cautious: Sudden cessation of one or more anti-epileptic drugs is highly risky, and the likelihood of withdrawal seizures, even status epilepticus is sky-high. Do not know what is occurring between you and his doctor, but his meds absolutely need to be continued. Even if you have to contact an emergency room, this cannot be allowed to progress into a critical event.
