That is not as simple a question to answer as it may seem. Epilepsy is a broad name for the condition where people have seizures. It is not a specific illness. There are a wide variety of causes, types of seizures, triggers for seizures happening and levels of severity. Each case has to be taken individually. Drugs that work well for one person may have no effect on someone else. Often people need to take a combination of drugs, and the combinations people take will be different too. There are a wide range of drugs out there and they all have their capabilities and uses. There are many of them that get used, but it is down to a case by case basis, so there is no simple answer to your question. Have a look at the site below at some that are used.
