My granddaughter is 12yo and has Ep, CP, CVI and is severely disabled...she is on Depakote and has just started Clobezam...she will be weaned off Depakote in about a month, when the Clobezam is going...I am worried about side effects...her first dose was last night...and she screamed in the middle of the night...Does anyone know if this was caused by the Clobezam...or the combination of the two meds?
We are all so worried.
Thank you, Kiara's Gma, Diane
 
What's the dose of the Clobazam? It tended to just knock me out, I was on 20 mg (10 mg am 10 mg pm) and I was sleeping a lot. Does your grand daughter ever cry out in her sleep usually?

I have just started Epilim (UK Depakote and been on it 3 weeks) I am also on Zonismide and other than fatigue and some mild issues with forgetting words nothing gives me night terrors or distress.

Hope that helps.

Q
 
She has just started the Clobazam...one week at 2 ml at bedtime...now 2 weeks later same dose, but 2X daily...
The only time her mom told me about was the one time...we had her overnite for 4 days last week and she was fine, so it may have been a nightmare...or other pain.
Thank you so much for replying to the post.
I am just always worried...and you have helped.
