- AEDs such as phenytoin (Dilantin)
-Gabapentin
-Topiramate (Topamax)
-Phenobarbital
-Valproic acid

-Vagal nerve stimulator (indicated for the treatment of partial seizure): this device is implanted into the left chest wall & connected to an electrode placed on the left vagus nerve. This device administers intermittent stimulation of the brain by stimulating the vagal nerve

2) Tonic seizures: (loss of consciousness, increased muscle tone, last 30 sec)
3) Clonic seizures: (lasts several minutes, muscles contract & relax)
4) Myoclonic seizure: (jerking/stiffening of extremities, lasts seconds)
5) Atonic/akinetic seizure: (lasts a few seconds, muscle tone loss w/ possible falling, and a period of confusion)
