My son Luke (5 yrs old) was put on Trileptal in April of this year after having 3 seizures. It seemed to be controlling them really well until recently. He started having simple partials and one complex partial that I am aware of. We upped his dose per the advice of his Doctor. It had been 2 and 1/2 weeks and this past Sunday he had a generalized seizure in his sleep (early morning). So, after speaking with his neurologist about the recent activity he would like to switch him to Keppra rather then upping the Trileptal again. He is already at the highest dose for his age and weight. Does anyone have a child that is on or was one Keppra. What are your opinions on it? I have read the side effects and am a little worried. What if this makes him have more seizures or changes his sweet little personality? I thought things were going so well and boy was I slapped back into reality.
