[QUOTE="Mamaof5, post: 382974"] May I suggest going old school with barbituates or perhaps tegatrol...My niece is a clonic epileptic (she also has partial absent seizures as well) and tegatrol has done wonders for her. Dilantin is hard on the kidneys and liver in long term use which is what they switched her from. The only issue with her now is behavioral from puberty and the tegatrol causing mood swings now. When she was younger it was really good for her, it did amazing wonders. Diazapam is really harsh for an 11 year old body and brain, I mean even Adarral (not sure of spelling on that) is better than diazapam in all honesty. My gmother was on barbs for her grand mal seizures (full clonics) and my mom had dilantin and tegatrol mix for her half stroke, seizure back in 1997 that helped quite a lot. Both my gmother and mother had aneurisms that caused them. My mom just went through TIAs and brain surgery for the aneurism last July. What about a B2 blocker (i heard it has some great off label use for seizures even though its a cardiac drug). There`s so many options and this doctor is not exploring them. What about G laser surgery, nuerotin based medications...so much there at hand and this doctor is still being a douche about it. *sorry, he really is being a douche* [/QUOTE]
