Epilepsy should be treated according to the doctor's advice

Treatment 1: symptomatic treatment: This is the most important treatment of epilepsy concerns. There are several seizure types of epilepsy, different types have targeted drugs. If the medicine is not right, it will not only cure the disease, but also increase the adverse drug reactions. Therefore, epilepsy treatment should first be based on the type and characteristics of patients with seizures to reasonable drug selection.

Treatment 2: antiepileptic treatment: what are the main treatment methods of epilepsy? It's a long process. Patients must cooperate with doctors and persevere. Generally, after the attack is completely controlled for 2-5 years, the time of reduction and withdrawal should be comprehensively considered according to the type of attack and whether the EEG is normal or not. Avoid sudden drug withdrawal, otherwise it will lead to seizures, and even lead to status epilepticus. Therefore, we must gradually stop and reduce the drug under the guidance of doctors.

Treatment 3: individualized treatment: many patients with epilepsy in the initial stage of treatment after taking medicine for a period of time, once the curative effect is not ideal, they mistakenly think that the drugs used are invalid, so frequent replacement of drugs, is also one of the important reasons for intractable epilepsy, which is the focus of treatment of epilepsy.
