Hi @bearbayou
I haven't heard from you in a while. How has your son been doing? Is the fatigue still giving him trouble, or has he been adjusting better to the medication?
Hoping things are looking up for him🙏

Hello @santosha. ... aka "Chris'----
For month plus son has been taking Xcopri.. with the dose gradually being upped. Now he's at (we hope) his maintenance dose: 200 mg. Last week we
saw the neurologist, as she requested, and she decided to s-l-o-w-ly reduce the Trileptal that he's been on for 20 years. He still has occasional dizzy spells and headaches, but they're less in severity and/or only 'occasional' (we're all grateful)
ALSO
what's interesting is his vocabulary is increasing, he's becoming much more thoughtful & helpful ...and downright kinder/sweeter.
Is this because of Xcopri? Or just a wonderful, inexplicable change. Husband and I are super grateful to witness this--so is my son.
