Is it good to take Dilantin and Keppra for epilepsy?

Patient's question:

Medical history has been around for about fifteen years. Currently, I am taking Dilantin and Keppra. I would like to seek treatment at your hospital. I wonder how you treat this condition?

Doctor's answer:

The medication you are taking is primarily used to treat epilepsy, which is mainly caused by abnormal discharges of brain neurons. If your condition does not improve after taking these antiepileptic drugs and it still recurs, it may be due to insufficient dosage.
Recommendation: It is recommended that you undergo a 24-hour EEG and blood drug concentration test at the hospital's neurology department. Based on the results of these tests, targeted adjustments to your antiepileptic treatment can be made.
