seizures and medication

[Guest guest]

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
