We did Depakote 15 years ago when epilepsy first diagnosed, ended up in wheelchair, couldn't walk, ammonia high in brain.. tried several since, settled on Dilantin but could keep level steady, had seizures, so tried Zonegran last August but kidney values off, 20# weight gain.. but being nonverbal autistic helps with behavior.. also had slight T3 drop but dr thinks okay as TSH is fine, on med for years..
Also hormones, menopause has to be considered ! Yikes, im a senior mom trying to help this 47 yr old daughter.. maybe drop 300 mg Zonegran to 250? Thanks
