My 7 year old daughter was diagnosed with absence seizure epilepsy last year. She is taking ethosuximide twice daily and she sleeps a total of about 12 hours per day. Usually she takes a 2 hour nap and then sleeps about 10 hours at night. Does anyone else have a similar situation? Will her need for so much sleep diminish? Our doctor wants to try to reduce the nap. We have tried that and she has more seizures, increased irritability and crankiness. She has a very limited life as a result. Any suggestions? Thank you.
