The best medicine for epilepsy

Drug 1: newly diagnosed epilepsy patients can be relieved by one or two antiepileptic drugs, and the effective rate of single drug treatment is 59. Although some people may respond well to a certain antiepileptic drug, no study has shown that any special antiepileptic drug can significantly improve the prognosis.

Drug 2: when the first antiepileptic drug fails, the prognosis of the second drug alone or in combination is not very clear. However, the effective rate of the second drug will decrease significantly, while the effective rate of the third drug or combination therapy is lower. Therefore, the failure of the first antiepileptic treatment may lead to poor response to the later treatment.

Drug 3: 50% of epilepsy patients, after drug treatment, seizure can be controlled, generally, seizure complete remission (no seizure) 2-4 years later, drug withdrawal can be considered, after drug withdrawal, most patients can get lifelong remission, but some patients may relapse. Therefore, the recurrence after drug withdrawal has been the general concern of clinicians. Most of the relapses occurred within one year after drug withdrawal, and the relapse rate was high in the early stage of drug withdrawal, especially in 3-6 months. The recurrence rate of epilepsy in children is lower than that in adults.
