M. W. van Heycop ten Ham: Pharmacological treatment of epilepsy
Pharmacological treatment of epilepsy is determined by the kind (pattern) of epilepsy the patient is suffering from. Treatment of primarily generalized epilepsy is different from that of other kinds of epilepsy.
Gradual discontinuation of antiepileptic drugs after a complete seizure free period of five years is risky, but is more often than not successful.
