epilepsy and career

Tue, 09/04/2018 - 15:16
I am currently 24 years old, living in bangalore for job and studies. I'm an epileptic, the first time i had a seizure when i was in fourth standard (2004). I had my medication for about two years. Then i had no seizures till 2014, suddenly one day i had a seizure. and then it became like once in every 2-3 months. So my doctor prescribed me "ZENPORATE CR 500 and FOLY-ACT 5MG". I have been taking this for about a year now, the number of seizures has decreased. But still many times i do feel like i'm about to have a seizure. Then i try to control myself. it's really hard to focus on my career as i'm always afraid of having a seizure. Can you please tell me what should i do to cure it properly ??
