EEG also helps define what part of the brain the seizure happens (if a localized seizure) or indicates a general seizure (seizure activity across large parts of the brain) or some kind of partial seizure spreading to a general one. Choice of med depends on which kind of seizure you have, but it is not uncommon to have more than just one kind of seizure.

Don't you have to have had a recent event though, and not be on any meds?
