I have followed a low-glycemic index diet and lost a lot of weight. I continue to take Tegretol to prevent tonic-clonic seizures (my doctor thinks I am at risk for absence seizures but I think I outgrew those a very long time ago)but I have more energy at my lower weight so I really can get out and exercise which leads to a good night's rest and reduced risk for seizures. It also helps me deal with mild depression. Weight reduction on any diet may give a person a chance to ask their doctor to reduce the dose of medication according to their lower weight.
