Since Lindsay starting Depakote ER....


two months ago, she hasn't had any generalized or atonic seizures. We've had a few very mild complex partials. Some are so mild (under 15secs) I'm not even certain that they were even seizures---ie she'll get up from the couch smacking her lips once or twice, run around the coffee table then sit back on the couch.

I talked to the neurologist the other day and we're both thrilled.

About a month ago we started moving the Keppra down a bit and so in Jan we're going to continue ramping down and hopefully get her off Keppra altogether.

So yeah for Lindsay.

Well, depakote (in Italy Depakin) works good for me too (together with Mysoline) and it's about twenty years that I have a seizure a year or about two years (pardon my bad english). I hope it will work for Lindsay too, Buon Natale

I've only been on it a few months but having good success with it for complex partials too. Thankfully, no weight gain either.

Hope the good news continues!
