A member asked:
Is 1 seizure every 2 weeks to many while already taken seizure meds?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Seizure: The goal should be total control of seizures. If without medication the number of seizures were one every day then the treatment is heading the right direction. Combination of proper medication therapies, adequate sleep time, and stress handling techniques may help. Depending the type of seizure other options are available like vagus nerve stimulator or surgical removal of source of seizure.
