Carbamazepine, phenytoin, and primidone are among the drugs recommended for generalized seizures. Primidone is a prototype deoxy barbiturate. Phenytoin is a hydantoin and these drugs are highly fat soluble. They stabilize membranes by decreasing Na+ conductance during the period of high-frequency firing.
