How to treat cryptogenic epilepsy

Drug 1: drug treatment of epilepsy common sense 1, early withdrawal: clinically confirmed, epilepsy patients adhere to medication for a longer time, the less chance of relapse after drug withdrawal. For example, patients with generalized tonic clonic seizures need more than one year to stop medication, while patients with absence seizures need more than half a year to stop medication.

Drug 2: general knowledge of drug treatment of epilepsy 2. Combined use of multiple drugs: for most patients with epilepsy, adherence to single drug treatment is an internationally recognized treatment principle. One patient took 6 kinds of antiepileptic drugs at the same time, the result was dull and the seizure aggravated. In fact, for newly diagnosed patients with epilepsy, the best use of monotherapy, its advantages are small side effects, good patient compliance, no drug interaction.

Drug 3: common sense of drug treatment for epilepsy 3, improper dosage: many patients are anxious to control seizures, and they use too much or increase the dosage too fast when they start taking drugs, which leads to the increase of the incidence of side effects. On the contrary, if we do not use drug treatment, it will aggravate the patient's condition, lead to a decline in the level of intelligence, but also easy to cause chronic drug poisoning.
