[QUOTE="BestICan, post: 113643, member: 3413"] Hi, and thanks for your questions/advice. Smallworld, he's on 100mg of Tegretol 2x daily. Same dose he's taken for almost 2 years. Just had bloodwork and he's in "low therapeutic" territory and the number was - I think - 4.9? Sara, I get your line of thinking but these are no seizures. His seizures are the stop-and-stare kind, with the sleepiness immediately afterward and THEN very odd behavior. I'm firmly convinced that these are not post ictal states, especially because he was able to reign in the behaviors when he had to. Midwestmom, he's never had anything other than the neurological evaluations that came with his seizure diagnosis. husband and I spent $500 talking with a psychiatrist(without difficult child)and the guy alarmed me with his snap judgments - was ready to diagnose difficult child with bipolar and ADHD while his seizures were uncontrolled, then mentioned that he didn't know anything about seizure disorders. Bleh. I guess I've never gone to a neuropsychologist because therapy/maturity seem to be having a positive effect over time, and he has a teacher who's willing to work with him. Meowbunny, it's funny - taping him was the first thought I had. Not sure how practical that would be, though. I guess I could enroll him in gymnastics again and tape him when he inevitably goes nuts in class. TM, thanks for the idea. Whew, that's a lot of work, huh? difficult child has a real talent for tuning me out when I get into talking mode. This morning difficult child seemed willing to describe the situation as it really was - he agreed that he was out of control, the leader was "right" to discipline him, etc. He said he "just needed to get his energy out" and, when I asked, he honestly couldn't think of another way that he could have gotten out his energy.
