Epilepsy

Understanding Epilepsy

Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent, unprovoked seizures caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain. Seizures can vary widely in type, severity, and duration ranging from brief lapses in attention or muscle jerks to prolonged convulsions and loss of consciousness.

Epilepsy affects people of all ages and can result from various causes including genetic factors, brain injury, stroke, infections, developmental disorders, or unknown origins. While some individuals experience seizures that respond well to medication, others may have treatment-resistant epilepsy requiring specialized approaches.

Effective epilepsy management requires consistent medication adherence, seizure tracking, trigger identification, safety precautions, and regular communication with healthcare providers. With proper treatment, many individuals with epilepsy can achieve seizure control and maintain active, fulfilling lives.

Epilepsy is typically diagnosed by a licensed healthcare provider through detailed medical history, neurological examination, EEG (electroencephalogram) testing, brain imaging studies, and observation of seizure patterns.

If you are experiencing seizures or have concerns about epilepsy, it is important to speak with your provider for proper evaluation and guidance.

Common Types of Seizures and Symptoms

Generalized Seizures

  • Tonic-clonic (grand mal) seizures with convulsions and loss of consciousness
  • Absence seizures (brief staring spells, more common in children)
  • Myoclonic seizures (sudden muscle jerks)
  • Atonic seizures (sudden loss of muscle tone, "drop attacks")
  • Tonic or clonic seizures

Other Symptoms

  • Temporary confusion or difficulty speaking after seizures
  • Loss of bladder or bowel control

  • Injuries from falls during seizures
Informational Note:

Everyone experiences epilepsy differently. Personalized compounding may be considered when commercially available medications or formulations do not meet a patient's specific needs.

Medications for Epilepsy: Treatment Options

Epilepsy is often managed through anti-seizure medications (also called anticonvulsants or antiepileptic drugs), lifestyle modifications, seizure tracking, and safety planning. Your provider will determine which options are appropriate based on your seizure type, frequency, medical history, potential side effects, and treatment goals.

Common Types of Epilepsy Medications

First-Generation Antiepileptic Drugs

Medications such as phenytoin, carbamazepine, valproic acid, or phenobarbital may be prescribed by healthcare providers for various seizure types.

Second-Generation Antiepileptic Drugs

Options such as levetiracetam, lamotrigine, topiramate, or oxcarbazepine may be used depending on the patient’s seizure type, presentation, and provider recommendation.

Broad-Spectrum Antiepileptic Drugs

Medications effective against multiple seizure types may be prescribed for patients with generalized epilepsy or mixed seizure patterns.

Narrow-Spectrum Antiepileptic Drugs

Certain medications are specifically effective for focal seizures and may be selected based on seizure classification.

Adjunctive Therapies

Additional medications may be added when a single drug does not provide adequate seizure control, with careful monitoring for drug interactions.

Combination Therapies

Many patients require multiple antiepileptic medications to achieve optimal seizure control. Compounding may allow certain medications to be combined into one formulation if prescribed.
