Question 1

how do i cure epilipse?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Epilepsy can be well treated with medications. Some types of epilepsy can be caused by a medical problem that can be cured.  Other types of epilepsy can be well treated, but not cured. Please see a neurologist for a better understanding of your specific situation. Hope this answer helps.

Question 2

are there any good medicne to treat epelipsy?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Tough question. A good medicine would be one that stopped the seizures, was easy to take, did not make you feel sick, and didn't alter any other body function, either acutely, or in the future. Some of the newer meds from the past 10 years may meet these criteria. However this is very individualistic.  A detailed discussion with your doctor should lead you to the right medication.

Question 3

will versed affect eplipepsy?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Versed, the trade name for the generic midazolam, is a benzodiazepine drug, used to break status epilepticus (where seizures are continuous and uncontrollable).  So, yes, midazolam will effect epilepsy by helping break an episode.  Obviously, because it is a sedative drug, other anti-epileptic medications are preferred to prevent attacks.

Question 6

my bf has eplipsey he is on medication for it he is also drinking at the weekends he is mixing drink wth medication what will happen to him ?

Accepted Answer

Avoid alcohol use: Alcohol can at times exacerbates some of the side effects of anti-epileptics  as well as lower the threshold for seizures themselves. I would recommend avoiding alcohol use as it could precipitate seizures and perhaps leading to further injuries and poorly managed epilepsy.

Question 7

my little sister has epilipsy. nearly 10 years later, my little sister tells me that our older sister broke a plate on her head when she was little. it was around the time my little sister developed epilipsy. could that event have caused her epilipsy?

Accepted Answer

: In medicine we are taught to never say never, yet in 4 decades of seeing kids who develop epilepsy, this is not one of the links. If the cited plate braking did not put her into the hospital, I cannot see it as a cause. In many cases there is never a clear cause even after years of investigations looking for one.

Question 8

what causes epilepsy?

Accepted Answer

Brain hyperexcitable: The exact cause & mechanism may be unknown most of the time. Conditions such as cerebral infarct, brain tumor, increased intracranial pressure b/c of any reason, infection of the brain or meninges of brain, metabolic disturbances, eg. Hypoglycemia, electrolyte abnormalities, head injury causing concussion or coupe contrecoup brain injury, aneurysms or a/v malformation, benign increase in icp, etc.

Question 9

how to cure epilepsy?

Accepted Answer

Possible but unusual: Epilepsy seems best addressed if a surgical procedure deals with a focal temporal lobe lesion.  Cortical lesions are much less responsive.  Other than excision of affected lesion area, the more diffuse problems are not really curable and only hope is to control with meds or vagal nerve stimulators.

Question 10

what triggers epilepsy?

Accepted Answer

Many factors: Epilepsy is the tendency to have repeated seizures. Although any of us can have a seizure if our internal environment is sufficiently altered, certain conditions can cause the brain to have repeated seizures. These include inborn abnormalities, brain tumors, brain trauma, vascular malformations, and others. These lesions cause an imbalance of irritability over suppression of electrical activity.
