4 years old on 10 ml valparin (5 ml twice) a day for seizure control did not get any improvement then clobazam 5 mg was added which decreased frequency. Now kid is continuing valparin and clobazam. My question is can we slowly discontinue valparin as it did not help for seizures besides that we see weight gain and black stool.
