Immediate Actions to Take

• Ensure safety by lying down in a safe area. Avoid restraining movements. Seek emergency care if the seizure lasts more than 5 minutes or if there is injury.

Importance of Medical Evaluation

• Contact your neurologist promptly to discuss the breakthrough seizure. An urgent assessment may be needed to adjust your treatment plan.

Medication Review and Adjustment

• Your current medication, Valparin Chrono, might need reassessment. Discuss potential reasons for seizure recurrence with your doctor.

Diagnostic Tests and Monitoring

• Your doctor may order tests like blood levels of medication, EEG, or imaging to evaluate your condition further.

Lifestyle and Seizure Triggers

• Review factors such as sleep, stress, or missed doses that might contribute to seizures. Ensure adherence to medication schedule.

When to Seek Emergency Care

• Seek immediate care for prolonged seizures, repeated seizures without recovery, or if you sustain an injury.

Follow-up and Support

• Regular follow-up with a neurologist is crucial. Consider support resources and seizure safety education for ongoing management.
