Long-term use of drugs that can cause discontinuation reactions, such as drugs for mental illness, if the drug is stopped, you should follow the doctor's advice and take a gradual reduction to transition, so as to achieve the purpose of complete discontinuation of the drug, so as to avoid aggravation of the condition and accidents.

The main clinical symptoms are transient mental disorder, foaming at the mouth, and convulsions of the limbs.

It is advisable to practice good personal health habits during the illness, such as sneezing, coughing, and washing hands after cleaning your nasal passages.

What are the consequences of epilepsy?

1.Most of the epilepsy patients are children and children, because they are in the period of development, they will have a loss of intelligence, and each onset of epilepsy is equal to a lack of oxygen in the patient, which will cause damage to the brain again and again;

2.Improper anti-use and medication are easy to damage cranial nerve cells, seriously affect intelligence and appearance, and epilepsy will also cause various restrictions on the normal work of patients, so epilepsy patients should be timely to reduce the damage caused by epilepsy.

The main reason is that the body's drug resistance is increasing, the drug is out of control of the disease, and the body does not respond to the drug.

If you don't have seizures, you can't stop the drug on your own.

Under normal circumstances, it is necessary to be under the advice of the doctor, and then through a formal examination, including follow-up electroencephalogram testing, to determine whether the drug can be withdrawn, and then after the withdrawal of the drug, how high the risk of recurrence is, the patient will explain the precautions, so the patient cannot stop the drug himself.

Patients cannot judge whether to stop the drug based on symptoms alone, and if the patient stops the drug on their own, it may lead to re-seizures of epilepsy, which may lead to brain damage.

Everyone knows that epilepsy is a relatively serious disease, which takes a period of time, and the condition is prone to sudden outbreaks in life. And epilepsy is a common chronic psychiatric condition that can last for years, if not decades.

When can epilepsy be stopped, generally after 3 to 4 years of taking anti-epileptic drugs have not had seizures epilepsy patients can gradually reduce the drug, until finally stop taking anti-epileptic drugs completely, this process generally takes 1 2 years, if there is a seizure in the process of drug reduction, it should be restored to the original amount, and then gradually reduce the drug after taking it for 1 2 years. During the tapering process, it is important to closely monitor the results of the EEG examination, and tapering should only be considered if the EEG is normal. If the EEG still has abnormal discharges, you should continue to take the original dose.

It is absolutely not possible to reduce or stop the drug at will, so as to avoid the occurrence of status epilepticus and endanger life.

Analysis:

Epilepsy, commonly known as "epilepsy" or "epilepsy", is a chronic disease in which neurons in the brain suddenly and abnormally discharge, resulting in transient brain dysfunction.

Guidance: Hello, epilepsy has not been seizure-free for more than 2 years, and you can slowly reduce the drug to stop the drug with the knowledge of the doctor.
