Hello thanks for asking from HCMZoloft is sertraline and Epilim is Sodium Valproate. You have been taking Epilim 200 mg for Seizures, you had last seizure 3 years back. First of all I would like to tell you that in most of patients the drugs are advised for about 3 years. If a patient remain seizure free for three years then gradual tapering of medicines doses is started. You are 51 years old and are on 200 mg per day, as per my opinion this dose in not sufficient to control seizure and you should consider to stop the drug as you are symptoms free since last 3 years. Also as I have not seen you and you haven't mention your detailed clinical history so I would advise you to consult your doctor for proper advise. You have been advised Xanax 0.25 and Zoloft 50 mg per day. There are no significant drug interactions between Zoloft and Epilim and if prescribed then you can take these drugs without any fear. Thanks, hope this helps you.
