My 7 year old daughter was just diagnosed with epilepsy 2 months ago. She has had 3 grand mal seizures and many absence seizures for unknown period of time (looking back probably years). Heathy, normal pregnancy and childhood up until now. No major illness, has had all vaccines. She’s a sweet girl normally, intelligent, athletic. MRI “normal”. At first she was started on keppra (after second seizure, before EEG), cross tapered on depakote when realized it was absence by EEG. Had 3rd grand mal seizure a few days after taper off keppra. Depakote level in the 60’s at 125 BID so was increased. Now on 125 mg in am and 250 at night. She’s ravenous, irritable and physically combative. She’s 46 pounds (very petite) but has gained 5 pounds already. Is there a better Med than depakote? I know she needs to increase the depakote (I’m pretty sure she had a grand mal seizure in her sleep 2 nights ago, she’s still having absence seizures daily and Iher repeat level was 67) but her behavior is just getting worse and she’s gaining weight. Is there any better alternative????
hi lucy,i realize every person reacts differently.I started getting grand mals around 6 years old,will not talk about school years but a far as education i did fine.this was in 1960s early 70s someds were limited.took phenobarbital,tegretal,dilantin,when one med would stopworking try another,always a little under weight and maybe it was being afraid of getting a seizure that kept me very timmed. never had many friends ,very shy.To me medicine should help a person mentally and physically ,there are a lot of options seems like doctors jump to the first med they can.
i am a 51 year old female ,i had absence seizures for 10 years ,1995 surgery at Mayo in Minnesota ,had been seizure free for 21 years. Last year i was diagnosis with Transient Global Amnesia. lasted about 24 hours, cat scan and mri were good. Taking Keppra and tapering off. My primary Doctor and Hospital Neurologist told me if this doesn't work i need to see a different neurologist. Scared and don't know what to do.
