I myself take Epilim 500mg. There are quite a bunch of pharmacies carrying this medicine in near my house. Prices are different though, so I get from the cheapest.

Since not many buy this, price can be a bit expensive. But if you buy in bulk or be a regular customer, I'm sure the pharmacist can get a good deal for you. I currently buy mine at about rm53/bottle. Used to get it for rm50/bottle before this bloody GST implementation.

I got mine from a pharmacy near my office now, a box for RM75 i think, without prescription. I am looking at changing my doctor at the moment because I cannot afford the consultation fee.

I personally think RM75 is freakin' expensive. That is, if we're talking about the same medicine. Even in private hospitals(Gleneagles or SJMC, can't remember), I used to buy them for about RM70.

My friend has been sufferring epilepsy for several years and doctor provided her Epilim to consume. However, seemed like the Epilim is not able to fully control the epilepsy and she still suffers 3-4 days of minor seizures every month.

Is there anyone out there has the same health issue or friends are relatives who have the same problem?

Is there any cure instead of just taking Epilim to suppress the seizures?

My wife having epilepsy for several years too but now still under control with lower dosage of epilim (200mg/day).
Her epilepsy has been stop for around 2year and of course diet have to watch and consume some herbs.

Sodium valproate also help in bipolar disorder too .. 500mg twice daily should be ok.. By the way.. this is a good info.. They never gonna tell you the cost and where to get it.. And yeah it does cost up to RM600 for consulation for this type of sickness.. So please go to government clinic if youre really out of budget..

Most pharmacy sell this medication.. no need doc prescription.. can walk in and buy.. usually they coated type called 'Epilim Chrono 500mg'.. price range >RM60

Medication might not be enough to control epilepsy seizures. Find out if adding vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) to your therapy might help. Up to 30% of people with epilepsy have uncontrolled seizures. Surgery may be an option, if not a cure.
