A 41-year-old man was admitted to the hospital after he suffered a seizure with loss of consciousness while at home. Two weeks earlier, the man was involved in a car accident and had suffered from a closed head injury. A neurologic examination and an electroencephalogram led to the discovery of an epileptic focus in the patient’s temporal lobe. The neurologist ordered an anticonvulsant drug that most likely acts with multiple mechanisms, including blockade of T-type Ca channels in thalamic neurons and increased GABA content in the brain.
Which drug was most likely prescribed?
