A seizure is a sudden burst of electricity in your brain, very much like a tiny bolt of lightning, this electricity is a signal that causes your body to feel different, or makes your body do things that you can’t control, sometimes the electrical signal only reaches part of your brain, then a part of your body, like an arm or a leg, may move on its own, if the signal goes all through your brain, you may shake all over or may fall asleep for a short time, the whole seizure is usually very short only a few seconds or perhaps a minute; Antiepileptic Drugs (AEDs) are the initial treatment modality for the vast majority of patients with epilepsy, since the advent of bromide therapy 150 years ago, clinicians have selected initial AED therapy for patients with newly diagnosed epilepsy in large part based on the patient’s seizure/epilepsy type, as determined according to the classification scheme of the time, unfortunately, during the majority of these 150 years, minimal formal scientific assessment of the efficacy, safety and tolerability of AEDs has been done
