RE: [Cent_Wa_Epilepsy_Support] after the seizure

Well it certainly can make me cranky <rbg>

All these meds have some sort of nasty effect on the person taking them, esp
when a large dose is given and multiple meds are used.

Felbatol has controlled Lars' seizures really well but his cognition is
impaired. We'd rather have him not thinking right than falling all over the
place though!

That is a good suggestion, I will try approaching him from the side or rear,

Thank you for the information about Harborview!

We haven't seen a rash yet on the Lamictal, so far so good. We were told to
watch for it.

I didn't think about that, he might be irritable from the lack of sleep!
