No, it was my decision to ween off the Keppra. Doctors aren't going to tell you to stop taking any pills necessarily. They have liability issues to contend with. Now, if you were on a pill and seizure free for say 1 yr, sure they could comfortably suggest you ween off if you decide to. But they cant just suggest you stop your medication because if some issue happened, the doctor could be sued and therein lies their liability issue. In my case, I feel its my body and I am very well read in seizure information and therefore I am in the best position to made decisions ALONG with my doctor.
On another point in this discussion was nutrition and exercise. Well, my view is anybody, whether epileptic, sick, healthy or otherwise should ALWAYS be eating nutritious food AND exercising all the time. Just because you are sick, you decide to exercise or eat healthy?? Ha, a little late for that isn't it?
Hope my words stir some discussion. Interesting stuff.. God Bless...
