First: according to the type of epileptic seizures to choose their own drugs. Monotherapy. For the treatment of epilepsy, most experts now advocate the use of a single antiepileptic drug treatment, in order to avoid drug interactions, reduce the occurrence of adverse reactions, but also easy to observe the curative effect.

Second: regular medication, so that the body always maintain a stable dose. Seizures can not be predicted, if the body dose is not enough, there may be seizures and can not be controlled. Sudden withdrawal of drugs will break the state of adaptation between drugs and human body, which may aggravate epileptic seizures.

Third: the whole dose, start small dose, gradually adjust, increase or decrease, pay attention to the difference between the individual response to the drug. If seizures occur frequently, the dosage should be increased as soon as possible without serious side effects, so as to reduce or control frequent seizures.
