Re: [MPEIparentsupportgroup] Potassium Bromide

Hi Tan,
 
So happy to hear your good news.  Nikkie's comment about being busy, but more sane, says a lot.  All the best during your pregnancy.
 
I am not sure about the potassium bromide.  If Rebecca was/is on it, I will let you know.  Glad to hear you have had some good days with Joce.
 
Hugs
Rebecca & Mary

Hi Tan
 
Firstly congrats about new baby! and really glad Joc has given you a bit of a break from screaming
 
Niamh was also precribed this very early on and her neurologist felt it would be one of the more "appropriate" drugs to use for her condition as she has read papers that commented on its effectivemess in MPEI.
 
Fortunately the ketogenic diet kicked in before we started it and so we never actually gave it to her.
It was one of the first ac's ever made.
 
Take care
Alison

HI Everyone,

Joce doc has prescribed her Potasium Bromide. Just wondering if any of your children have been on this med before? It is off label use here in Australia and is mainly used in Dogs! Apparently it was the first anti convulsant made. Has had some positive effect with better seizure control with MPEI???

Im just a little worried!

Please let me know if you have any info,

Thanks heaps again,

Tan xo
