Re: seizures help-Geri-Anne-kim

Sorry this is so late. I haven't been online very much. The

lamictal works really well for Wyatt. He was on the same dosage for

a year and then finally had some break through seizures. We just

upped his dose. Hopefully we can go another year without any visible

seizures. I know he has activity but the lamictal seems to control

them. It was difficult at first to use. We had to slowly increase

his dosage to a theraputic level. During that time he was on keppra

also. It took over 3 months to get him to a theraputic level. They

do it slowly to avoid a rash, but once at theraputic level there is

nothing to worry about. Hopefully something will help the girls

seizures get under control. Hope your holidays went well.
