Abstract: 5-HT receptor agonists are useful in the treatment of a variety of diseases. Provided herein are methods of reducing the incidence and/or severity of seizures in a human patient using a 5-HT receptor agonist, such as, for example, a 5-HT4 agonist (e.g., fenfluramine). Methods of treating epilepsy or epileptic encephalopathy, and/or reducing, ameliorating or eliminating incidence of SUDEP in a subject diagnosed with epilepsy by administering a 5-HT4 agonist (e.g., fenfluramine) to a subject in need thereof are provided. Pharmaceutical compositions for use in practicing the subject methods are also provided.

Abstract: Functional analogs of fenfluramine are provided. The subject fenfluramine functional analogs find use in the treatment of a variety of diseases.
