The article reviews the use of antiepileptic drugs in various forms of epilepsy. We present a complex case of juvenile myoclonic epilepsy, the diagnostic process and antiepileptic therapy. Our own data and the results of others demonstrated a high efficacy and tolerability of valproate drugs, and a low aggravation potential in all types of epileptic seizures.
