The Canadian Epilepsy Alliance says an ongoing shortage of an epilepsy medication is leaving some patients worried they'll start to have seizures again if they switch to an alternative.

The shortage of Teva-clobazam, which began last May, is expected to last until April next year, according to Health Canada’s drug shortages website.
