We started him on another anti-seizure med yesterday. Lamictal. He seemed extra hyper yesterday, but today he seemed normal. It will take at least a month to get him up to the dose the neurologist is hoping for. The more gradual the better. We also have to keep close tabs on his liver and kidneys. This drug has a high incident rate of organ damage. Unfortunately, they pretty much all do. The 1st one we tried, that made the seizures worse, was supposed to be the safest one currently available. For many reasons, I'm really hoping this one works!
