Three weeks ago, my healthy 11 year old collapsed with a seizure. The sleep deprived eeg showed seizure activity. I was there during the eeg and he did not have a convulsive seizure, he was talking during it etc. He has had no seizure since, but neuro. said if he were her child she'd start him on meds. I agreed but once I got home and started researching the drug became fearful. I know an option is to wait and see if he has another and then start meds. I'm worried about the side effects etc. I have read that sometimes the drug can cause seizures, say for example if the child did not fully absorb a dose for some reason. I'm a wreck, trying to be strong for my son. Anyone have experience with this? Thanks
