A 19 year old woman is admitted to A&E with a history of sudden collapse, loss of consciousness, and rhythmic shaking of her arms and legs. The episode has lasted about 15 minutes. She had been on a night out with her friends drinking alcohol and had been otherwise well previously. Investigations have not revealed any structural cause of seizures and she is back to her baseline. What treatment does she need going forward?
