Epilepsy with 1~2 seizures a year also needs to be treated with appropriate epilepsy drugs under the guidance of a doctor.
Generally speaking, patients who have more than two seizures within six months need to be treated with antiepileptic drugs as soon as the diagnosis is clear; for patients who have their first seizure or have one seizure at intervals of more than half a year, they can be informed of the adverse effects of antiepileptic drugs as well as the possible consequences of not treating them, and then, according to the wishes of the patients and their families, they can choose to use or not use antiepileptic drugs as they see fit.
Specific medications need to be selected according to the type of seizure, epilepsy and epilepsy syndrome type, and other appropriate medications. For adult partial seizures, the preferred drugs are carbamazepine and phenytoin sodium; for children’s partial seizures, oxcarbazepine is preferred; for partial seizures in the elderly, gabapentin and lamotrigine are first.
Since most of the anti-epileptic drugs have different degrees of adverse reactions, they need to be taken reasonably under the guidance of professional doctors and in accordance with medical advice. Whether you need antiepileptic drugs please under the guidance of a professional physician, please do not self-medicate or stop medication, so as not to delay the condition.
