Antidepressants, tranquilizers, and anticonvulsants are generally withheld for 24 to 48 hours before an EEG. The client does not have to be on NPO, but should avoid stimulants such as coffee, tea, cola, alcohol, and cigarettes. Pre-procedure care for EEG involves teaching that there is no discomfort and shampooing the hair.
