Grand mal seizure : Tonic–clonic seizures (formerly known as grand mal seizures) are a type of generalized seizure that affects the entire brain. Common anti-epileptic medications used to treat generalized seizures include valproate (, carbamazepine,phenytoin and topiramate . Seizures : A seizure is the physical findings or changes in behavior that occur after an episode of abnormal electrical activity in the brain. The term "seizure" is often used interchangeably with "convulsion." Convulsions are when a person's body shakes rapidly and uncontrollably. During convulsions, the person's muscles contract and relax repeatedly. There are many different types of seizures. Some have mild symptoms and no body shaking. SYMPTOMS Symptoms may stop after a few seconds minutes, or continue for 15 minutes. They rarely continue longer. The person may have warning symptoms before the attack, such as: • Fear or anxiety • Nausea • Vertigo • Visual symptoms (such as flashing bright lights, spots, or wavy lines before the eyes) TREATMENT Anticonvulsants commonly used to stabilize mood include valproic acid (considered one of the most effective), carbamazepine, lamotrigine, topiramate, and gabapentin
Increased risk of bleeding when used with aspirin, NSAIDs or drugs that affect coagulation. Serum levels may be reduced by CYP2C19 inducers (e.g. carbamazepine, rifampin, phenytoin) or CYP3A4 inducers (e.g. nafcillin, nevirapine). Serum levels may also be increased by CYP2C19 inhibitors (e.g. fluconazole, fluvoxamine, omeprazole) or CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g. azole antifungals, clarithromycin). May increase serum levels of desipramine or metoprolol. Increased risk of serotonin syndrome when used with linezolid or sibutramine. Escitalopram may enhance the sedative effects of alcohol. Potentially Fatal: Concomitant administration with MAOIs may lead to serious or fatal reactions; should not be started until at least 2 wk after stopping escitalopram or vice versa. Moclobemide may increase the risk of serotonin syndrome.
