Saying good bye to Depakote for JME
Sun, 10/03/2004 - 14:15My husband is 27 and has had JME since he was thirteen. He has been on depakote with excellent control (he only seizes when he forgets his meds, and then has too much to drink.) His seizures are usually full on GTCS and last for 3-4 minutes. He also stuggles so much with attention and weight. I know much of this is because of his meds.
He just saw a new neurologist who recommended either Lamictal or Zonegran. I was hoping I could hear from some people who have had similar decisions and switches.
THanks
