Helen A2 - Arzimanoglou, Alexis Y1 - 2017 N1 - T2 - Pediatric Epilepsy AB - All commonly used antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) have some effect on cognitive function, and the effect may be substantial when crucial functions are involved, such as learning in children, driving ability in adults, or already vulnerable functions such as memory in elderly patients. For the commonly used AEDs the effect of phenobarbitone on memory and long-term treatment with phenytoin on mental speed are well established. There is no serious impact on cognition for carbamazepine and valproate and the evidence for ethosuximide is inconclusive.
