Did anyone ever try NO medications for seizures?

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

Our son has been on about 8 different anti-seizure medications since he was 3.5

months old (he's now almost 2). None have worked. All have come with various

negative side effects. I'm thinking of trying to just let him be. He's had

such a tough time on the medications - and continued to have seizures daily

anyway - why keep putting him through these trials? We are running out of

medication options anyway. So my question is, has anyone else ever tried a

drug-free period for their child? Of course I'm very afraid that the seizures

could get worse. He's currently on Lamictal, and having anywhere from 3-5

seizures a day. He cries a lot on Lamictal and we can't figure out what is

hurting him. So we feel like the Lamictal is not worth it. Any thoughts?

Thanks,
