Outpatient epilepsy care can often be straightforward. This is because around 65% of patients are seizure-free on their antiseizure medicines (ASMs). Management decisions that can simplify patient care prominently include minimizing ASM dosing complexity, preferably with monotherapy and once daily dosing. Choosing ASMs with lower side effect profiles and interaction potential is also ideal. Proactively addressing comorbidities of epilepsy and its treatment can improve quality of care. Some ASMs can negatively affect bone health so routine calcium and vitamin D supplementation is useful.Psychiatric care is comprehensively discussed in Chapter 9. The relative lack of need for ASM level monitoring is discussed. The decision to stop ASM therapy and how to do it is discussed. Lastly, the chapter concludes with a concise and thorough discussion of specific management considerations for women with epilepsy. Topics include the hormone cause of the catamenial pattern as well as ASMs and contraception, pregnancy, and breast feeding.
