[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 395226, member: 1963"] My sister and I both had infantile seizures. We were on phenobarbital for a couple of years after birth and my sister had to take it for a while after that if she ran a fever. Once we got older, we had no further seizures or similar problems. I had one grand mal seizure 5 years ago when i was in the hospital for emergency surgery and did get my depakote (for BiPolar (BP)) for four days because I couldn't talk to tell anyone what medications I was on. Once I got my depakote back I was and have been seizure free. It is quite common for infantile seizures to clear up as the infant grows older and the brain matures. We didn't have a lot of the diagnostics we have today, so I don't have much further info beyond reassuring you that I basically grew out of the seizures. Mood stabilizers like Depakote, Lamictal, etc. were originally used to treat seizure disorders and stopping them suddenly can cause seizures in people who do not have epilepsy, like in my case.
