Why do seizures often occur?

1, no one wants to be troubled by disease. Some epileptic patients are eager to seek medical treatment and go to the hospital in disorder, which brings great trouble to the treatment and affects the prognosis of epilepsy. If the curative effect is not ideal in the process of drug treatment and the seizure is not completely controlled, they do not actively seek medical treatment and find out the reasons, but run around and constantly change the treatment plan. After suffering from a painful seizure, they lost confidence in the treatment and felt cured.

2. At present, the commonly used method to treat epilepsy is drug therapy, but it takes a long time to take medicine, and some patients stop taking medicine casually, including not stopping medicine under the guidance of a doctor after a period of control, and stopping medicine casually when reviewing EEG. Generally, patients do not need to stop taking drugs when reviewing EEG, and stopping drugs casually may lead to the recurrence of iatrogenic epilepsy. This phenomenon often occurs because medical staff lack comprehensive knowledge of epilepsy diagnosis and treatment.

3. There are certain principles in the medication of epilepsy, but in the actual investigation, a considerable number of patients use drugs irregularly, with little effect, which leads to recurrent seizures.

4. Patients frequently change medicine: This is also a mistake that many patients are making or have made. It takes a long time for some drugs to reach the effective blood concentration, so we should have enough patience to observe the curative effect, and we should not rush to seek success and change drugs frequently. Otherwise, it will not only fail to control the attack, but also lead to cross tolerance of drugs.

5. After a period of treatment, some patients have no obvious therapeutic effect and gradually lose patience with the cure. In addition, some epilepsy patients and their families lack understanding of the basic knowledge of epilepsy, blindly look for "secret recipes" everywhere, believe in street advertisements that "cure all diseases" and "cure all diseases", and stop taking drugs or changing medicines at will, which leads to the failure of epilepsy treatment.

6. The inaccurate diagnosis of epilepsy is also a major reason. Because there are many symptoms and types of epilepsy, and the wrong judgment of the type of epilepsy will directly lead to the wrong treatment, because the choice of antiepileptic drugs mainly depends on the type of epilepsy. Choosing the wrong medicine will not only not relieve the attack but also aggravate it. Some antiepileptic drugs can aggravate seizures, such as carbamazepine and phenytoin sodium, which can aggravate absence and myoclonia.
