i have had seizures before in the past, and my neurologist told me that the best thing you can do to minimize your risk of having another seizure (other than taking meds), is to minimize the amount of stress you put your body through. this basically means: get a good night's sleep, eat properly, don't drink/do drugs, etc.... minimize stress on your body

Describe ways that medication can be used to control seizures?
Medications for seizures work by regulating brain activity to prevent excessive firing of neurons. They can be taken daily to prevent seizures, or as needed to stop seizures once they start. The choice of medication depends on the type of seizure and individual factors such as age and other medical conditions. Regular monitoring is important to ensure proper dosing and effectiveness.

No, an anticonvulsant is administered to prevent seizures, not a sedative. Sedatives are used to depress the central nervous system to produce calm and diminished responsiveness without producing sleep.
Are there ways to prevent epilepsy?
There are many causes for epilepsy so in theory anyone can get it. A brain injury sustained in an accident could be one reason. So it is hard to prevent someone having accidents. In terms of someone who has epilepsy preventing their seizures, then taking medication and avoiding things that can trigger their particular seizures will help prevent them having their seizures. Even doing these things doesn't 100% guarantee that a person won't have a seizure as sometimes it is difficult to avoid things that may cause their seizures, like stress. There are so many causes and triggers for epilepsy and each person is different, so what works for one person may not work for another person or may even be totally irrelevant to another person as their seizures are caused by something else. For example it is commonly believed that flashing lights cause seizures. That is only for about 3% to 5% of people who have epilepsy. So for most people with epilepsy it is not necessary to keep away from flashing lights, as it has no affect on them.
