Can temporal lobe epilepsy be controlled with carbamazepine?

Patient's question:

Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended that I see a neurology specialist. Can carbamazepine control temporal lobe epilepsy?

Doctor's answer:

According to the situation you mentioned, it can be considered to take medication for control. This requires considering a follow-up visit to the neurology department of the hospital, and implementing medication under the doctor's advice is relatively appropriate. Generally, it starts with a small dose and gradually increases to a normal dose. After symptom control, it is also necessary to maintain it for a period of time. Otherwise, it is very easy to cause a rebound effect. It may also affect the condition. During daily life, it is also important to pay attention to controlling your emotions and not overexerting yourself.
