I have been taking seizure meds for 60 years (over 300,000 seizure pills.) For 45 years my seizures were uncontrolled. At age 59 one of my meds became unstable and I changed to a new extended-release medicine and my seizures stopped but my EEG, MRI, and neurological exam are all abnormal so no chance of getting off meds.
What type of seizures were you having?
I’m unsure why you can no longer walk or be left alone? I'd recommend you speak to your physician regarding these issues. Physical exercise is beneficial and may help decrease seizures. One in 5 people with epilepsy lives alone. My seizures were so frequent and severe I was unable to live alone. But I have been living alone for 7 years now. It is seldom necessary to go to the hospital because of a seizure. Virtually all seizures will resolve on their own, usually within a few minutes. However, there are exceptions.
I never let my epilepsy control my life. I did what I wanted to do. But naturally there are precautions we should all take.
Showering instead of bathing unless someone is with you, temp control valve to prevent burns in case temperature control is moved to hot position. Knobs instead of levers also help to prevent burns. Cook on back burners. Preferably use microwave.
Take medication faithfully, Get plenty of sleep. Learn seizure triggers if possible. NEVER STOP SEIZURE MEDICATION ABRUPTLY.
I did and was in a coma for 8 months.
Best of luck to you,
