Question
What should be considered when changing antiepileptic medications for children?
Answer
It is generally not recommended to change antiepileptic medications without adverse reactions. It is advisable to take antiepileptic medications regularly and to assess whether it is possible to discontinue them based on the type of epilepsy, the cause, the time since recurrence, and the withdrawal response. Typically, medication should be continued for 3-4 years after recurrence stops before gradually discontinuing. It is recommended to follow medical advice and have regular check-ups.
