Hello everyone. My son Jon has many sever handicaps that cause him to have seizures. He has had them all his life; everything from grandmal seizures to small focal seizures that come from 3 different areas of his brain. Jon is non verbal so it is harder for him to communicate with us. It has been hard for Jon. He has been in ER for over 2 hours with the doctors trying to get a seizure stopped and even worse they believe he was having sub-clinical seizures while sedated for up to 12 hours. He has been placed on so many different medications trying to get some control. Right now he is on Lamictal, Topamax and just started Vimpat and of course we have the Dialstat to give rectally to stop a seizure that is prolonged and have had to use it a few times. Once he is on a theraputic dose of Vimpat we will try to take him off the Lamictal. I would appreciate any support and knowledge that anyone has and am glad I found this site.
