I recently had a crash course in epilepsy when my 3 year old son came down with it this summer(atonic drop seizures).Elfgirl wrote:Pity they aren't putting more money into researching the causes of epilepsy rather than just the ol' 'drugs will fix it' approach.
We tried Keppra and it worked great for a few months but then he started "head bobbing" so now he's on Depakote as well.
If the head bobs go away he'll be weaned off the Keppra.
Sadly that should have happened by now but it hasn't.
Working with the neurologist on this.
F#cking sickens me to think about how unsafe his condition is.
