Medications for Seizures

Other names: Absence Seizure; Complex Partial Seizure; Fits

A seizure or convulsion can be a sudden, violent, uncontrollable contraction of a group of muscles. A seizure can also be more subtle, consisting of only a brief "loss of contact" or a few moments of what appears to be daydreaming.
