Guest guest Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 Hello Everyone So my daughter recently had another EEG because the neurologist saw her space out for a second , and now he believes from the results that she is having multiple small seizures everyday in addition to her having on average about 3 big seizures every 3 months or so.. She was already on maxed out doses of keppra and trileptal and I was told if your on seizure meds you wouldnt have a normal EEG .. well in addition to the keppra and trileptol she is now on lamictal ... It stresses me out that she is on so many medications. I am wanting them to wean her off of one of her old medications because I feel that the new one is helping, but the doctor seams reluctant to do so. Even though she is functioning ok she does get sleepy and sometimes I wonder if her medication is causing her to be more spacy or if it is seizures . When she was younger before the meds she was able to talk and interact more.. I am going to go get a second opinion just to make me feel better i guess.. but I thought Id ask you all if your kids are on this amount of medication.. just wondering if its normal to be on this much medicine she is 5 years old and she takes 500mg of keppra 2 in the morning 3 in the afternoon and 300mg trileptal 1 and 1/2 in the morning and 2 at night and now she takes 25mg lamictal 1 in the morning and 1 at night this one she just started so its still lower doses for now st least (she takes pills) any input would be helpful thanks Roxanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
