It’s advisable for you to discuss this with your neurologist, who will be able to review your epilepsy and its treatment. For example they may alter your medication dosage or the type of epilepsy medicine you are taking. If you are not under a neurologist, you will need to ask your GP to refer you.

I completely agree with the answer above. I have lived with epilepsy most of my life.

Amongst the things I have learnt is that it can be difficult to find the right medicine and also the right dosage. The neurologist you have and knows your epilepsy is the best doctor help you to find the correct medicine and dosage,

Good luck
