Since Mayo has faciin Phoenix /Scottsdale it should be easier to find a doctor specializing in Epilepsy. Epileptologists have an additional 1-2 years of training in Epilepsy so be sure to ask them if they have had this training.
Another thing I wanted to add is if anyone is around your son when he has a seizure it would be beneficial for them to video it and show it to the neurologist.
even though I only take my medication once a day in the morning I used to have problems remembering it even if it was sitting right next to me and I looked directly at it. For some reason it just didn’t seem to register but I was supposed to take it.
I bought my cousin a couple of automated pill dispensers and after his passing in September I brought them home with me. The one I use has a really irritating alarm so I quickly get up and take my medicine so it will shut up. If I just go in and turn it upside down to quiet it down then go get breakfast or whatever it will text me and call me on the phone. I won’t leave me alone until I take the bloody pills. What if your son remembers to take his medicine in the morning I think his best option and cheaper, would be the extended release Keppra.
Best of luck to all,
Jake

@jakedduck1 Thank you. One of the things I want to mention to my son is the extended Keppra and since we are looking for a new specialist, that will be a question to be sure to ask. He could use an automated pillbox. If it's no trouble for you, can you provide me with the brand name of this dispenser that texts or calls your phone? I was the irritating alarm for him when he lived at home and well now, I think he relies solely on his alarm watch. (sigh) Thanks again, always stay safe.
