Hey my son Nicky is 13. fine for almost 1 /2 years on max clobazam only, high dose of 35 mg nightly. But then "boom" tolerance developed and now seizuring every few days, complex partials. So the doctors, want me to put him on Lamotrigine for 2 months along with this heavy dose of clobazam, then slowly wean off clobazam. Is this usual? They say they want to be sure in case he develops the rash, to not take him off the clobazam right away. As they will then have to take him off Lamictal (lamotrigine) right away. I'm new to this switching meds things. Is this what happens? I hate the idea of 2 full heavy drugs in my 13 year old. He seems so fine except for the seizures,not sick and the idea of these pills making him sick or the dreaded rash is making me sick. He crys in his sleep, "i'm not a sick boy mom; please stop" It breaks my heart.
