Wrong medication dose

After visiting my neurologist today whom is a new one nearer to me I have just found out that it was a good chance having wrong dose of medication twenty years could have contributed to my seizure in April. I’ve been on a medication dose for a child over twenty years which should have been upped to an adult dose twenty years ago!! Check your doses with your doctor etc and make sure you are getting a dosage suitable for you ie child/adult. Also now getting a ct scan after 28 years of never having one. Happily my medication is being upped to suitable dosage for an adult now
