I did not have surgery but I have been sz free for 3 1/4 years. I am on Dilantin and Phenabarb
and know that is what is keeping me sz free. So why would I want to use less and take a
chance on szs starting again?

I think you are very wise Steve. You have had such good luck so far but cutting back or taking off I would be
afraid to do. By taking something at least you have a back-up in case it does come back in say a few years.
Nothing appears to last forever.
Keep smiling and a big congrats Steve!!

Just wondering, has anybody seen studies done concerning reducing meds. after surgery as far as it being
successful or not successful in staying seizure free after surgery?
My Dr. suggested to me to get totally off my Keppra (3000mg. each day)taking one year to do so. If then still
seizure free, cut back my Trileptal but not totally and remain on some the rest of my life. I said no to
reducing my meds. I'm still seizure free. Just interested in statistics concerning that. My Drs. said no
stats. where available since all surgeries are so different. Take care, keep a smile on your face!
Steve
