Hundreds of Seizures a day

[Guest guest]

Our son is having hundreds of seizures a day. They were very rare and

mild before he started keppra. Then we switched to Depakote because

he was getting worse and discovered that they were now hundreds a day.

The Depakote did nothing and he even seemed worse. We spent 3 days

in the hospital to detox him of depakote and now he seems about the

same maybe a small bit worse but he is now sleep deprived. The

doctors want him to start taking zonagram. We want to start a low

glycemic diet instead. Any input or insight into what we should or

could do next. He has failed 2 drugs. We have heard good things

about lamictal but the doctors say it will take too long to get into

his system and see any type of improvement. Is that a good enough

reason to not use it. what if that is the drug that will help him?

what if the low glycemic diet is all he needs and they keep medicating

him. And when do you stop trying new meds. What do you do when no

med helps and no diet helps. There telling us there is only a 4%

chance any med or diet will help him at this point. they don't even

know what type/kind of epilepsy it is. Just constant spiking all day

even evening, can't walk, speech is terrible, not learning. What do

we do?
