  2. Which seizure medications do you recommend?

  3. Can seizure medications be used to treat other medical conditions I may have?

  4. What should I do if I experience any side effects from these medications?

  5. Will I have to take seizure medications forever?

  6. Will these medications prevent me from having seizures?

  7. What should I do if I have a seizure while on this medication?

  8. What should I do if I forget to take a dose?

  9. Can I become addicted to these medications?

  10. Will these medications adversely interact with any of my other medications?

  11. Are there any over-the-counter medications I should avoid while taking seizure medications?
