  5. I am currently taking Sodium Valproate 1.5 g, Levetiracetam 1.5 g, and Clobazam 1 g, but I continue to experience seizures about once a week. Both my MRI and EEG results are normal, and my doctor increases the medication doses at each visit. Are there any Ayurvedic alternatives available for treating seizures?

Persistent seizures despite the use of appropriate doses of antiepileptic medications may suggest drug-resistant (refractory) epilepsy. Ayurvedic treatments have not been scientifically validated for effective seizure control and should not be used as a substitute for standard antiepileptic therapy. It is advisable to consult your neurologist for a thorough review of your diagnosis and current medications, and to explore further options such as add-on therapy, dose adjustment, or evaluation for epilepsy surgery. Do not change or stop your medications without medical supervision.

  1. Current Treatment and Seizure Control

    • You are on Sodium Valproate, Levetiracetam, and Clobazam, which are standard anti-seizure medications. Persistent seizures despite normal MRI and EEG suggest complex seizure management needs.

  2. Ayurvedic Alternatives

    • Ayurveda views seizures as Apasmara. Herbs like Brahmi, Ashwagandha, Shankhpushpi, and Jatamansi are traditionally used.

  3. Considerations and Cautions

    • Consult both your neurologist and an Ayurvedic practitioner before starting alternative treatments. Be aware of potential interactions with current medications.

  4. Additional Steps

    • Consider evaluating other seizure triggers and discuss medication adjustments with your neurologist.

  5. Specialist Consultation

    • Continue with neurology for seizure management and consider integrative medicine for complementary therapies.

  6. Patient Advice

    • Maintain open communication with healthcare providers. Seizure control may require a multi-disciplinary approach.
