Seizures only last a few seconds or minutes. When your seizure is over, your brain cells calm down. When you have epilepsy, you will sometimes have to take medicine every day. Sometimes you have to take it more than once a day. Your doctor will tell you how many times to take your medicine.
Medicine helps stop the seizures.
Sometimes, the medicine will work really good, but you might still have seizures. It is important to take your medicine at the same time every day. Make sure you listen to doctors, Mom, or Dad when they tell you the times you need to take your medicine. You might have to change your medicine too. Your doctor might think another medicine will work better.
