What would be the effects of an overdose of alcohol phenobarbidol kepra mobic tylynol pm zanaflex citalopram and atteninol?
er..... at worst death. OK i will try and explain how drug overdoses work within the human body. First you will probably feel sleepy, and or sick. Your Liver will then start working over time to remove your toxins from your blood which it wont be able to do quick enough and you will go into liver failure within 2-4 weeks and death will be painful and very slow. its not the best way to go trust me. dial the emergency services ASAP if you have done this for real as they can pump your stomach to remove most things before too much damage is done
How is epilepsy treated?
It depends on which type you have. There are 2 types, focal and generalized. The first thing a neurologist will try is medication. If that does not control the seizures then there are other alternatives. With focal seizures, there is a device called VNS (vagus nerve stimulator). In order for this to be an option, the seizures must be proceeded by an aura (warning). There is also surgery. To be a candidate for epilepsy surgery, the trigger point of the seizure must be in safely removable location. Away from memory, motor skills, vision, etc. Surgery is performed to decrease or eliminate seizures. If it only decreases the seizures, medication is now likely to have a positive effect . The sooner it is done, the better the outcome will be. Generalized seizures (grand mal) unfortunately cannot be completely eliminated with surgery, but they can be decreased. Because these seizures come from more than one area of the brain, it is impossible to eliminate them. Incisions can be made at the trigger points to help decrease seizure activity and prevent spreading.
