Hi Kerry,
I agree with you, it is best to do one medication change at a time. Otherwise, it might be hard to know what is working and not working.
You said that your son is having sleeping troubles. Did he have it before taking Lamotrigine? How was his sleep before starting this medication? Lamotrigine was the first AED I took and I had quite some difficulty falling asleep with it. As far as I remember this is a common side-effect of this AED. On the other hand, I have learned that sleep disorders are quite common among people with epilepsy.

Unfortunately, Keegan has always had difficulty sleeping. A lot of it did have to do with his prematurity...any time I put him down, he would wake up. Then with the reflux, that caused sleep issues so we raised the head of his bed to help with that. But, he's always been a light sleeper and with 3 boys in the house that still have not gotten the concept of "inside voice" (hahahaha), I can see why so we started 10mg of melatonin and that seems to help some. Also, I've never seen him have a seizure in his sleep but from what I've read, that's quite common and it could be happening to him without me knowing.
