A method of treating a subject which may be a human suffering from epilepsy which may be a form of epilepsy resistant to treatment and particular patients which are resistant to treatment with oral medication. The method involves positioning a catheter device in the subject's brain and infusing a liquid formulation of a drug into a portion of the subject's brain through an infusion lumen at a rate of 5, 4, 3, 2, or 1 ml or less per day ±50%. The infusion may be constant and corrected by aspirating fluid from the patient's brain and testing the aspirated fluid for drug concentration. The rate of infusion by the formulation and the concentration of drug may be adjusted based on patient responsiveness.
