Anti-epileptics are used to prevent and control seizures. Some also have other uses, such as managing nerve pain, migraines, and fibromyalgia. These medications work by stabilizing electrical activity in your brain. Anti-epileptics come in different forms, including oral pills and extended-release tablets. Examples include gabapentin (Gralise, Neurontin), lamotrigine (Lamictal), levetiracetam (Keppra, Roweepra, Keppra XR, Roweepra XR), pregabalin (Lyrica), topiramate (Topamax), and zonisamide (Zonegran).
