We have tried multiple epilepsy meds (lamictal, klonopin, keppra, topamax, and zarontin). Right now, she is on keppra & zarontin -- zarontin was the only one,...
Lamictal was the worst here too (major regression).... and zarontin the best. A close second to the lamictal was the klonopin -- we took her off it after less...

Hi, I just found this forum and am hoping for some parent perspectives. I'm wondering if she might have an atypical form of this but she's very mild. If you...

Hi Summer, I think you are definitely on the right track in wanting to schedule a 24 hr EEG..thats really the only way to find out whether there is an LKS...
Sorry, Abeer! Just going through all my email after a hospital visit this morning. I'm working now and don't get to check emails every day... Megan> Date:...
Abeer, thanks for your reply. That does sound awful, to have such a big regression after only 2 weeks, particularly the increased seizures - after a similar...
Thanks for your response Rosa. Yes, I completely agree that having regressions should be exaimined no matter if the skills are regained. t certainly sets her...
Thanks for your response Abeer. We are on the west coast in the states so it's not likely we'll get to Boston. It's a little funny that I'm actually hoping it...

Yes, I am the Laura from VT.... it really does sound like your son is on a lot of meds (esp. benzo's) -- but I'm not a neurologist -- and I'm going to assume...
I feel the same way about not knowing what is working and what is not. And, I also agree that the doctors often tend to push the drugs and use the kids as...
We went to Boston Childrens...and saw Dr. Bourgious (sp. sounds like boozhaw) He wasn't very personable, but did recommend the Topamax. Our old neuro in...
