Trying to get my daughter with a seizure disorder on epidiolex

Posted by mmas @mmas, Jan 27, 2019

Has anyone tried epidiolex? Trying to get my daughter on it but has only been approved for certain genetic disorders associated with seizure which she doesn’t have. Hopefully it gets approved for all seizure disorders soon.

Thanks, Jake. We will bring up the possibility of increasing his dose. At this point, he is status quo--about the same as he was before we started the Epidiolex, when he was on Dilantin, Celontin, and Med. Cannibis. The Med. Cannibis is now gone. He has 1-3 seizures a week when he sleeps, dozes a lot during the day, and bears weight with assistance.
