Guest guest Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 Hi There My name is Avraham and we have a 4yr old who suffers from seizures becuase of a condition she has. Its called Lissencephaly. She is on Depalept (Sodium Valproate) and our neurologist wants to change her medication to Lamictal because her blood levels for Depalelpt are in the low range yet she is on the maximim dose for her weight. I am wanting to know if there is anyone who has experience with either of these medications and the condition Lissencephaly. Many thanks for your time.

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 Hello Avraham, My daughter has been on Lamictal for about 3 or 4 years now. She takes it with Zarontin as well for her petit mal seizures. She has also had one tonic clonic. She takes 150mg of Lamictal a day and it seems to be ok for her. She used to complain more of stomach aches or headaches and be a bit more tired than the rest of the kids her age (she's nine) but other than that she seems ok. She also has sensitivities to gluten & dairy so its hard to know when she gets these little quirks if its from her food or meds, although I try to keep her as clear as possible of the food issues. Good luck! > > Hi There > My name is Avraham and we have a 4yr old who suffers from seizures becuase of a condition she has. Its called Lissencephaly.
