Absance Seizures and Lamictal
Sat, 04/09/2011 - 17:24Dear All,
My daughter (5 year old) was diagnosed with absance seizures last year. Our doctor put her on Ethosuximide (250mg twice a day). Her seizures got much better and we immediately notice a great change in her ability to interact with others. She is doing great at school, however, her seizures have not subsided. She still has a couple visible seizures a day. As a result, our doctor wants us to keep her on Ethosuximide and add Lamictal as well. We are concerned about the drug indications and side effects.
I am interested on hearing about anyone's experience with these drugs.
Thank you,
