I am new to this forum. My 12 year old step-daughter was recently diagnosed with
Epilepsy. In the last 2 months she has has had 6 generalized seizures. She is a
very active, driven, and fun-loving 12 year old girl. Some of that we have seen
'dulled' with medication. She is currently on Keppra, but the neurologist wants
to switch her to Topomax (within 2 days of starting Keppra, she became very
moody, silent and even angry).

So I have 2 questions for the 'peanut gallery';

1 - Anyone on Topomax? And if so, what do you think about it?

2 - Does anyone know of a 'support group' for kids within the greater Seattle
area?

Thanks!
