Medications
The first-line treatment option for a grand mal seizure is to take medications. Some common choices include levetiracetam, carbamazepine, phenytoin, oxcarbazepine, lamotrigine, phenobarbital, and lorazepam. At first, you might begin with a low dosage and gradually increase the dosage if necessary. Several cases need more than just one drug to alleviate their symptoms. Keep in mind to discuss with your doctor carefully to make the right decision. To get the best result, it is important to take medications precisely as prescribed. There might be some side effects such as weight gain, dizziness, fatigue, skin rashes, speech issues, as well as mood disruption. [11]
