Description: What should you do if you think you have a problem with memory related to epilepsy? The first thing is to have a frank discussion with your doctor, expressing your concerns about memory. Having treated you and your particular type of epilepsy, your doctor is in a position to consider the probable impact of neurobiological factors like brain abnormalities and seizures as well as the effects of your epilepsy treatment. Your doctor might decide to change your treatment immediately, perhaps by lowering the dose of one or more medications or even changing the approach altogether.
