Hi, we are parents of 3 1/2 yr old Rohan. He was diagnosed with complex partial seizures in January. When he gets his attack, he smacks his lips.. like hes tasting something.. It usually lasts for about half a minute. He was also diagnosed with PDD NOS (borderline autism) in april.
For his autism we are doing behavioral therapy, speech and sensory integration programs to which he is responding well.
On the epilepsy front, we are still trying out different medications. Currently he is on Oleptal DT (Oxcarbazepine) 150 mg, 1.5 tablets in the morning and 2 tablets at night. Also he takes Torleva syrup (Levetiracetam) 3 ml morning and 3 ml at night Torleva has been recently introduced since roughly last week of June. Prior to that he was on Oleptal along with 2.5 mg of Frisium at night.
Ever since we have started phasing out frisium, his seizures have increased ( 5 in the last 30 days). Now, whether this is due to frisium or adding Torleva i dont know.
He had another attack this evening and our neurologist has suggested we add frisium back again.
The seizures i feel takes away all the good that the therapy is doin. its like days are getting lost with his attacks. We need to control the seizures and are very uneasy about it. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
