Epilepsy requires symptomatic treatment to achieve better results. Generally, antiepileptic drugs can be used based on the type of epilepsy recurrence. Once a drug and dosage that can completely suppress recurrence are found, it should be used continuously. Typically, after the recurrence is completely suppressed and there are no adverse reactions, the medication should be taken consistently for 3 to 5 years before considering discontinuation. Currently, it is often recommended to use a single drug. After confirming the success of monotherapy for epilepsy, a second drug can be added.
