How to Stop Antiepileptic Drugs for People with Cerebral Palsy?

Antiepileptic drugs reduce excess electrical activity in the brain, so they are used to effectively control seizures for people with CP. How to stop antiepileptic drugs for people with cerebral palsy due to the potential severe side effects and the long-term seizure-free after taking antiepileptic drugs?
In the years’ study on people with cerebral palsy combining with seizures of Cells Center China, the more time that passes without seizures, the greater is the chance of staying seizure-free. Over 50% of children outgrow their epilepsy. Twenty years after the diagnosis, three-quarters of people will have been seizure-free for at least 5 years, although some may still need to take daily medication.

6. Gum disease (gingivitis).
7. Itching, fever, and a measles-like rash (sensitivity reaction).
How to Stop Antiepileptic Drugs for People with Cerebral Palsy?
In clinic, the best timing to treat cerebral palsy is the period of seizure-free. Could the seizure relapse or get worse when people with cerebral palsy stop antiepileptic drugs?

As we know, both cerebral palsy and seizures are caused by neural system damage in the brain. Stem cell treatment is the best treatment for central neural system damage. Stem cells can work directly on neural system, repair and replace the damaged and necrotic cells so that the neural conduction can be restored and the motor function of human body will be improved significantly.
