How to cure epilepsy early

First, antiepileptic drugs should be used as monotherapy as far as possible until the effective or maximum tolerable dose is reached. After the failure of single drug treatment, it can be combined. Try to use drugs with different mechanism of action, little or no drug interaction. The ultimate goal of rational drug use should be the best clinical effect and the lightest economic burden of patients.

Second: in the process of antiepileptic drug treatment, routine monitoring of antiepileptic drug plasma concentration is not recommended. Only when it is suspected that the patient has not taken the medicine according to the doctor's advice or has drug toxicity reaction, combined use of other drugs that affect drug metabolism, and special clinical conditions (such as epilepsy, liver and kidney disease, pregnancy), the blood drug concentration monitoring should be considered.

Third: antiepileptic treatment needs continuous medication and should not be stopped easily. At present, it is considered that the drug can be stopped gradually only when there is no seizure for at least 3 years. In the process of drug withdrawal, only one drug can be stopped at a time, and it takes about one year to stop gradually.
