Once your epileptologist has determined that enough data has been gathered to treat you, your medications will be restarted.

The epileptologist will discuss the findings of your stay with you prior to discharge, including any changes to your medications and whether further tests are necessary.

Discharge will usually occur 24 hours after your medication is restarted, providing you have been seizure-free. The EEG may continue until discharge. Discharge generally occurs about 1:00 p.m.

Follow-up appointments are usually scheduled prior to your discharge.

If you have any questions, please feel free to call the Duke Epilepsy Center at 919-681-5363.
