Is This The Right Medication For My Brother? (Top voted first)

Updated

My brother is working out of town and went to the hospital because he wasn't feeling well. apparently he had a seizure while in the hospital and they prescribed this medication to him. My concern is whether or not they could have given him something else or was this the best medication without a definate diagnosis of Epilepsy.

this site is not medical professionals and without knowing his medical history and test results, no one can possibly tell you.

When he returns home, I suggest he see his regular doctor.

This is my point exactly. without having an entire medical history I don't think it was necessary to put him on such a mind altering medication as this without the definate diagnosis of Epilepsy. do you think you could refer me to a doctor that may be able to understand my concern?

I have no idea where you are, to even try to help you find a doctor.

I had a stroke several years back and seemed to be having little ones again and again. My neurologist thought I was actually having seizures, gave me an EEG and determined it was seizures. I have been on dilatin since, monitered by blood draws.

I would hope they saw a reason for that medication before it was given. I would contact the place it was given to him with that question.
