Thanks so much for your well wishes. He is 3 months off of it. Yes, he starred Xcopri a new seizure medication now. In hopes to help with seizures and brain inflammation. Prednisolone caused the hand issues it started with severe tremors. Then he stopped the medication and the hand issues continued with pressing and constantly rubbing. He doesn’t want to use his hands either or open them. They are always clenched. He never had it prior to this. Any ideas how long it took for you? Thanks for the well
Wishes, we can sure use them.

My pleasure @dm06 !
Have you checked to see if Xcopri might give some side-effect related to the hand experience your son is having? More than 1 AED medication gave me hand tremors. I also did not have experience with Xcopri. As we know, physical (sleep, period, etc) and emotional factors (stress, anxiety, fear, etc) do affect epilepsy. Try to evaluate and see if anything did change in your son's life in those respects.
I am sorry, I can not say exactly how much time it took me to get rid of those tremors, because my doctor introduced little by little medical cannabis (100% CBD), reducing also little by little the AED, until taking it out. But I remember this and other side-effects were gone, thankfully.
We don't get to choose what happen to us, but we do get to choose how we respond to our experience. - a quote of Dr. Edith Eger from her book The Gift.
Stay strong!
