[QUOTE="Fran, post: 12306, member: 3"] Hi BestIcan. I'm afraid that I can not assure you that there is not a nightmare ahead with behavior changes and extremes in mood. If he is bipolar. This is still a big if. in my humble opinion. Get a thorough evaluation by another neurologist. There are those that specialize in epilepsy. Rule out first things first and then move down the list. I certainly wouldn't jump on the opinion of one psychiatrist that never saw the child. I find this almost irresponsible on his part. Get the evaluations. If it is bipolar, it's not the end of the world. It just requires the same vigilance as his seizure disorder does. It's not easy and the medication thing is a bit of a roller coaster but you want him to be stable, safe and protected. You want to work to protect this little guy so his disorders do not cause him pain or public embarassment. Medication is the leading method for both disorders. Tegretol may or may not be the culprit but that will require someone who knows more than I. [/QUOTE]
