Hello Lyndem, first of all how frequently he is getting seizures? if more than two times per month then we can increase the dose 150 to 200 twice daily. If the seizure frequency is very rare then not to increase the dose . Frontal lobe epilepsy are more resistant to treatment that’s why dose should be modified according to frequency/age/weight. Sometimes additional tablet maybe needed.

Hi sry for my bad english please help with this child age now 4 years 2 months, fullterm healthy baby, normal delivery baby. On april 2021 age: 2y 8m he got first seizure. Seizure is like unconscious no jerking found little blue or pink colour around lips and got admitted for 2 days eeg and mri got normal and suggested no medication and he got another seizure on may 2021. Seizure is like jerking movements bubbled saliva came from mouth lasted around 1 min 40 seconds and doctor prescribed with keppra 1.5 ml he is for almost 1 1/2 year seizure free until october 2022 on 8th october 2022 he got partial seizure like twichiness for around 8 seconds. Before 5 days from this episode he got severe cold cough and fever and used antibiotics to control. On this seizure episode day he danced a lot in marriage. On date 9oct he got again doctor added balloting 1.5 ml again 10, 11, 12 october he got partial seizures lasted around 5 to 10 seconds with jerky movements very day we are in notice of doctor he gradually increased the dosage of valparin to 3.5 ml on 13 october he got 2 min seizure eye balls up with jerky movements and bubble saliva from mouth. In eeg mentioned left centro parietal epileptic focus doctor added clobium 1.5 ml for 5 days he is fine and after again he started getting seizure lasting 5 to 10 sec around daily 2 to 4 times with jerky movements and he immediately recovers after 10 ses he continues with what he is doing. Doctor kept on increasing dosages slightly on 25 oct he got 6 times seizure in a row each lasting 3 to 10 sec seizures in that only one had jerky movements other are like staring to the sky. Doctor now added oxital 2.5 ml but he got two seizures daily but doctor said it take time work for medicine so be in patience. From 6 days he is getting seizure only in sleep at after noon just after sleep and early morning before wake up. Doctor suggested to decrease valparin dosage and after gradually remove valparin. We are in confusion what to do still he is getting single seizure in sleep afternoon and morning. Doctors are saying he is fine questions 1. Does it cause any brain damage will he get any cognitol deficit with these frequent seizures until now he is ok? 2. How long he will get these seizures? 3. Next action plan? 4. Some says it is benign epilepsy is it true?

Your seizure seems not fully controlled and may need a dose escalation. Your tiredness might be due to low sodium due to oxetol. The skin problem is probably tinea/ringworm. Please consult a local neurologist to optimise medication and get some blood tests to exclude any systemic cause of tiredness.

It is unlikely. The common triggers for seizures are dehydration, infection, certain tablets, alcohol, lack of sleep, stress. A lot of times the cause is not clear. Some patients can have non epileptic seizure (looks like seizure but not a true epileptic seizure.

Brivaracetam can surely cause mood swing though less than levetiracetam. However, occasionally levetiracetam can cause less behavioral disturbances when compared to brivaracetam .there are many antiseizure drugs that does not worsen mood or anxiety like lamotrigine or carbamazepine. These two drugs rather stabilize mood. Alternatively, levetiracetam can be restarted after discussing with a neurologist as levetiracetam dose can be increased more that what your son was taking.

I am sorry to hear that you are still suffering. The cervical spinal problem can be discussed with neurosurgeon. There is no specific curative therapy for knee degenrative changes escept hot fomentation, analgesia and avoidance of excessive knee bending and maintaining a healthy body weight. However, there are some antispasmodics that can reduce muscle spasm.
