**There are many drugs for epilepsy, so it is not recommended to use them blindly.

The process of epilepsy is relatively long, and epilepsy patients must usually take it according to the doctor's arrangement, take it according to the dose, and should also maintain good living habits, do not stay up late, avoid drinking, and maintain an optimistic mood, so as not to affect the condition. The doctor of Beijing Deshengmen Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine reminds that if the medication is improper, it may cause adverse reactions, so do not blindly use the drug, pay attention to the regular hospital in time**, I wish you an early **!

Epilepsy is a group of clinical syndromes of chronic brain dysfunction caused by a variety of causes. During a seizure, the patient may fall suddenly, become unconscious, foam at the mouth, roll up the eyes, and have convulsions or twitching of the limbs. There are also some epilepsy patients who do not have convulsions at the onset of the disease, but are in a daze, do not move, have abnormal behavior, emotional or mental abnormalities, or have abdominal pain, headache, vomiting and other autonomic dysfunction symptoms.

Retraction is an important feature of epilepsy and causes great distress to the patient. Except for a very small number of refractory epilepsy that require surgery, 80% of patients can be cured with regular drugs. So what is the best medicine to take for epilepsy?

As we all know, the most important thing for the disease is to prescribe the right medicine, but because there are many types of epilepsy, and different types of epilepsy drugs are also different, there is no one drug that can treat all types of epilepsy. After having epilepsy, you must first go to a regular hospital to see an epilepsy specialist, and under the guidance of the doctor, conduct a detailed examination, and only after the diagnosis can you give correct and effective **.

At present, the most commonly used drugs include traditional anti-epileptic drugs such as carbamazepine, sodium valproate, etc., and new anti-epileptic drugs such as lamotrigine, topiramate, oxcarbazepine, these anti-epileptic drugs are safer than phenytoin, phenobarbital and other old drugs, and are an ideal choice for epilepsy patients.

However, the epilepsy drug is a single drug, so that the doctor can prescribe the right medicine according to the patient's condition and examination results, see what kind of drug is suitable for the specific epilepsy patient's condition, and what kind of drug can achieve the best effect on the epilepsy patient. Start with a small dose, if a single drug is ineffective, you can consider adding or switching to another anti-epileptic drug, and never mix a variety of anti-epileptic drugs together, which may lead to epilepsy resistance and increase the occurrence of ***. If it is truly believed that one drug is ineffective or too large for the patient, it must be replaced gradually when it is necessary to switch to another drug.

Hello, epilepsy is also known as lamb madness, general medicine is very difficult, Western medicine has no specific drugs, traditional Chinese medicine has accumulated a lot of unique methods in long-term clinical practice, it is recommended that you use traditional Chinese medicine with the effects of strengthening the right and dispelling evil, calming the nerves, invigorating blood and removing stasis, dispelling dampness and phlegm, awakening the brain and opening the body, strengthening the spleen and replenishing qi, filling in the lean marrow, etc., with fast effect and exact efficacy. The combination of these drugs can fundamentally regulate the function of the viscera, directly hit the core tissue of the lesion, inhibit the abnormal discharge of brain tissue cells, quickly compete with neurointerstitial receptors to inhibit it, and repair damaged brain nerve cells at the same time, fundamentally epileptic seizures.
