My 13 year old daughter had her first fit in Oct 2010 and 2nd in Nov 2010.
We started her on Lamictin 100mg twice a day. Then added Keppra 750mg twice a day. Weaned her off the Keppra and started her on Zarontin - 12.5ml twice a day.
Her EEG shows that it is not totally under control, but we getting there I think.
Tegan gets little muscle spasms if she is over tired or stressed for exams.
She had concentration lapses which is a concern for studying and paying attention in class.
 
Hi Terri, welcome!

Epilepsy can be tough on teens, for so many reasons. I hope your daughter continues to make good progress.

Best,
Nakamova
