Hello!
Just wondering what your experience has been with seizure control. How long does it take to find the right AED and gain dependable control?
I ask because we are at the end of our third AED. Hit the wall with side effects at our last increase (Trileptal 900mg 2x daily for simple partial's, occipital and frontal) Waiting to hear from doc what is next--I think it is Lamictal.
It has been one year since diagnosis, and I still can't believe we are not <there> yet.
We have gone through Keppra & Depakote --both failed because of poor control and lousy side effects. Trileptal has been the best so far, but not perfect. My DD is being seen by an epitologist at a level four epilepsy center (our second doc). The care is wonderful.
Thanks for your input!
