summary

My epilepsy has been for many years. I have been taking the medicine prescribed by the doctor to control my condition. My condition has been very stable and seldom attacks. But I am afraid that taking the medicine all the time will have side effects. Now I will introduce the side effects of anti epilepsy drugs.

What are the side effects of anti Capricorn drugs

First, phenobarbital can inhibit the motor area of cerebral cortex, increase the convulsion threshold, directly inhibit the discharge of lesions, and limit the spread of discharge, so that the seizure EEG can return to normal. It can be used as the first choice to control major attack, but it has poor effect on minor attack and psychomotor attack. Do not stop the drug suddenly. Long term use can lead to addiction, stupidity and danger. Use other drugs instead.

Second: lamotrigine, levetiracetam, topiramate and oxcarbamol are equal. They not only have definite clinical efficacy, but also have relatively small side effects, which are easily tolerated by patients. Vanilla aldehyde, as an extract of Gastrodia elata, can resist convulsions caused by pentylenetetrazol and epileptic EEG induced by it, and is effective for all types of epilepsy, especially for small seizures. The characteristic of this drug is that the adverse reactions are relatively small.

Third: imipramine is the most effective for psychomotor seizures; its efficacy is similar to that of phenytoin sodium for large seizures and mixed epilepsy; its efficacy for trigeminal neuralgia is better than that of phenytoin sodium; it has antidiuretic effect, which may promote the secretion of antidiuretic hormone and can be used for diabetes insipidus.

matters needing attention

Drug treatment can be said to be the most basic method for the treatment of epilepsy. Doctors will choose suitable drugs according to the patients' different conditions, and the first choice is of course the drugs that do the least harm to the patients. We don't have to worry too much.
