Thanks for your quick response. My daughter ally 10 yrs old is on 400mg of lamictal but still has breakthrough seizures. The seizure last under a minute and she will just stare as her eyes shake when it stops i have to remind her what she was saying or doing. We are changing her medication because the doctor feels she should be seizure free and we are at the maximum of lamictal for her body weight. On jan. 7 we are schedualed for an overnight eeg. Although i feel we should switch her to the depakote that the doctor recommends first. Side effects are a concern since her first med was zarontin and she became very angry and aggresive even talking about suicide. I read that these were possible side effects, when i told her doc. at the time she told me its not possible to send her to a thearopist. i changed doctors and meds and she was back to her old self within two weeks. Well its a year and a half and im still trying to find the right meds.
I will talk to the school about a discussion on seizures thats a great idea. Thanks so much.
