What the maximum dose to kill off your epilepsy?
Some epilepsy cannot be killed off. There is no drug that you can say would have a mximum dose to do that. There are a wide variety of forms and severity of epilepsy. It is not a single condition with a single way of treating it. There are many different drugs used for epilepsy and their purpose is to control rather than cure epilepsy.
How do you avoid getting epilepsy?
There are many reasons and causes of epilepsy, so it is not really possible to say what can be done to avoid it. It isn't like an infectious disease that you can get vaccinated against. Only about 1 in every 200 people have some form of epilepsy. Something like a head injury can result in epilepsy, so you could say that trying to avoid getting any sort of a serious head injury in your lifetime is one way or trying to avoid getting epilepsy.

Can parents be just a carrier for epilepsy?
Epilepsy is not necessarily a genetic condition. It is not infectious either. If there is no family history prior to a particular individual having epilepsy, there is nothing to say that it will be passed down. Epilepsy has a wide range of causes. You would need to know what the specific causes are before you could say anything. Epilepsy can be unique to a family member. It is generally a physical condition. A parent having a broken arm is not likely to have a child with a broken arm born to them. So unless there is a definite family history, it is unlikely that a parent having epilepsy would pass it on. Talk to your doctor.

Can a patient have both intractable epilepsy and epilepsy?
The word intractable means hard to control. It can be used in relation to many things. Lots of things can be intractable. So intractable epilepsy is when someone's epilepsy is quite serious, difficult to control and as a result has a major impact on their lives. It is not a form of epilepsy, just a general description as to how serious a person's epilepsy has become. As it is a general term there is no specific point of measurement to say when someone has intractable epilepsy. The majority of people with epilepsy lead very normal lives. They only have seizures occasionally and most of the time they are fine and people that know them might not even know they have epilepsy. Only a very small amount of people have it to the extent that it could be said to be intractable.
