Hi, @chloep145, and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Good to hear you have been seizure-free for a year or two.
I believe you said that this tapering down in your seizure medications is being supervised/directed by your doctor (I believe that is what you meant by a consultant?)? Wondering if you've had the chance to mention the symptoms you talked about - feeling off and not yourself, slight bad head and slightly more sensitive to light - to them? If so, what did they suggest you do?

@lisalucier Can This Not Also Be From Decreasing The Dose? I Chose To Decrease My Dose Of Zosyn On My Own And Also Experienced A Few Of Those Side-effects, However The Unwanted Side-effects From The Seizure Med Also Decreased Which Made My Life SO Much Better And NO GranMal Seizures Occurred!
