1. Introduction
The diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy demands a tailored approach. Important therapeutic considerations include patient characteristics, drug attributes, etiology, and type of epilepsy [1]. It is imperative to prescribe the optimal antiepileptic medication (AEM), at the lowest dosage, which minimizes adverse effects (AEs) and maximizes seizure control [2]. In managing the person with epilepsy (PWE), clinicians must consider the patient's needs and expectations. An illustrative case that highlights the many facets of the decision-making process is described.1. Introduction
