Medication Management
For people who have recurring seizures, medications could help stop them or reduce their frequency and intensity. From the large number of available medications, our team can help you find the antiseizure drug or a combination of drugs that works for your type of epilepsy. While selecting the right medication, we will account for your lifestyle, budget and overall health. Our center also frequently participates in clinical trials of new drugs, which offer the right patients an opportunity to obtain early access to new treatments.

Our Approach

- Review your history of symptoms and medications, and assess the medications’ effectiveness while accounting for side effects.
- Adjust your medications as needed, which may include adding or replacing a medication or adjusting the dose or timing.
- Explain what the medications do, how and when to take them, and how to keep track of symptoms and side effects.
- Monitor how your seizures and your body respond to medication adjustments.
- Consider alternative treatments if, after trying multiple medications, your seizures are still not under control.
