When I was suffering from epilepsy, I found that my condition was relatively timely. At that time, the effect of systematic medication was very good. Standardized medication was very important. Let's take a look at the side effects of epilepsy drugs.

Does the side effect of epilepsy drug have

First, antiepileptic drugs have effects on people's memory and movement speed. The higher the concentration of antiepileptic drugs in blood, the more obvious the effect. Through clinical trials, many experts have also shown that phenytoin sodium affects patients' operation skills, visuospatial ability and attention, as well as movement and reaction speed. Some therapeutic drugs can affect the patient's instantaneous memory and concentration, as well as the speed of language. Some drugs are generally considered to have no obvious effect on intelligence, but some people think that they may also have different degrees of effect on fine motion.

Second: the first harm of antiepileptic drugs to the body is the brain nervous system. Its symptoms are dizziness, headache, mental tension, mental disorder, mental malaise, depression, impulsivity, numbness, ataxia, eye tremor, speech disorder, diplopia, drowsiness, affecting thinking, work and children's intellectual development limitation, and children may have excitement and anxiety. These manifestations have a very serious impact on the normal life of patients.

Third: the damage of the body organs caused by long-term intake of drugs, such as acne, gingival hyperplasia, facial roughness, hirsutism, osteoporosis, atrophy of cerebellum and brain stem (long-term large-scale use), lack of sexual desire, weight change, hair loss, menstrual disorders or amenorrhea, etc.

matters needing attention

It is not suitable to change the dressing casually. When it is necessary to change the dressing, we should gradually reduce the dosage of the original drug and gradually increase the dosage of the new drug to prevent seizures. Epilepsy is a chronic disease, we need to formulate a long-term standardized medication plan, and adhere to the treatment in order to obtain the best effect.
