The first misconception is that there is a fear of taking anti-epileptic drugs, and that the side effects of these drugs are too great, leading to liver and kidney damage and even mental retardation, thus refusing to take medication. The side effects of anti-epileptic drugs have varying degrees of toxicity, but as long as patients use these drugs scientifically and correctly under the guidance of a specialist, the side effects can be well controlled and resolved. The actual fact is that if you don’t use medication and let the seizures happen, it will aggravate the patient’s condition and lead to a decrease in intelligence and loss of ability to work and live. The more the drug is used, the better the control. Many patients are in an urgent mood to control their seizures, so they start taking their medication at too high a dose or increase the dose of the drug too fast, which leads to an increase in the incidence of side effects. The initial dose of drugs such as phenytoin sodium, carbamazepine, dutasteride, lamotrigine, etc. should be started at a small dose, and the dose should not be increased too fast.
