9. How Are Seizures Treated?
Recall that having one seizure can be an isolated event and it does not necessarily mean that there will be another one. Thus, the physician must first proceed to search for the correct medical diagnosis before starting the medication.
Like with any other medical condition, the goal for seizure treatment is to use the best possible drugs (or therapies) to stop episodes (i.e. medications that have the least side effects for the patient). Often, treatment for this condition will require the use of one or more anti-seizure drugs. The key to optimal management of the disease is to work closely with your doctor to find the medication and dosage that works best for you.
