The diagnosis of epilepsy requires the presence of recurrent, unprovoked seizures; accordingly, it is usually made based on the medical history. EEG, brain MRI, SPECT, PET, and magnetoencephalography may be useful to discover an etiology for the epilepsy, discover the affected brain region, or classify the epileptic syndrome, but these studies are not useful in making the initial diagnosis.
Persons taking antiepileptic drugs cannot drink alcohol.
Which anti-seizure medication has the least amount of side effects?Any alternatives to anti-seizure drugs?
Has anyone experienced strange side effects from Dilantin lately?Like other anticonvulsants, dilantin has been shown to possibly cause liver toxicity.

I use clonazepam to get stage 4 sleep (which does help heal and thus reduces pain).Anyone know of firstly Keppra (new as it is) and any side
effects of it individually or with combination of Tegretol and vigabatrin?Can you really be bipolar without any mania? Is anybody on Lamictal? Can anyone give me some information on the effects of Lamictal and being

an extended period of time?I have been on Lamictal for over a year or so. Has anyone on this drug for an
extended amount of time had weight gain?Lamictal Withdrawal Symptoms? HELP!My wife had a seizure in August. She's been prescribed Dilantin. Since getting on it, she's been tired most of the time. Is this a known side effect?Just wondering if any one has done a med change from Tegretol to Tegretol
