AB Antiepileptic  drugs  (AEDs)  are  a  treatment  modality  for  the  suppression  of  seizures.  Medical  therapy  is  usually  the  first  option  once  it  is  established  that  seizures  should  be  prevented.  This  is  a  worthwhile  goal  not  only  with  a  confirmed  diagnosis  of  epilepsy  but  also  when  there  is  a  clear  indication  to  prevent  further  (acute  symptomatic)  seizures.  Several  possible  indications  for  initiating  AEDs  will  be  discussed  in  this  chapter.
