Hi Rohit, Thank you for posting your query.First, let me assure you that epilepsy is not a serious disease, and responds well to medical treatment. If you can upload the MRI reports, it would be useful. Levipil (levetiracetam) is among the safest anti-epileptic Chat Doctor.  At least 2-3 years of medications are necessary. Please get back if you require any additional information. Best wishes,
