I was on oral meds methylprednisone and depakene for a few years. I was started on levothyroxine after my diagnosis and contunue taking it. I have Hashimoto's thyoditis so I will take the thyroid med for life. A few years after being taken off the steroid for HE I felt I was relapsing. My doctor didn't think so, but put me back on methylprednisone for a short while.
When I hadn't had any seizures and my brain scans appeared normal I was taken off Depakene. It has been over 10 years since my original diagnosis and I feel that I have no side effects .......thanks in good part to a quick diagnosis and treatment. My former neurologist told me he was certain that I would not have any relspses .......ever.
