Good morning Santosha,
Thank you for the information. I wish doctors would listen more to the patients who are actually experiencing the side effects and not brush them off. I have talked to my daughter about being open to maybe changing medication. Right now she is not exactly on board with that. We are hoping this new Neurologist is better. He was recommended by my oldest daughter who saw him for headaches she was having, and issue with an optic nerve that was discovered. Plus this new Neurologist is closer to where my youngest is currently going to college which I think will be helpful. I will also look into epileptologist if we don’t feel good about this new doctor.

I agree very when you said "I wish doctors would listen more to the patients who are actually experiencing the side effects and not brush them off" :-). Unfortunately, many do not do it. This is also shown in the movie First Do no Harm with Mery Streep.
I hope all goes well with this neurologist. That you find a doctor who listens and respects both of you. My best wishes for this appointment in April. Give us news after that, please.
Have a beautiful Sunday!
Santosha
PS: Let the neurologist convince your daughter about changing the medication.
