Hello
just wanted to let everyone know that we
are still dealing with shane and his gran
mal seizures(since oct 05) but after his
stay in cincinnati, oh at children's med.
It seems we are getting somewhere. We
just added topomax to his meds and the dr
is weaning him off the depokane. He is
still on keppra and his preschool teachers
told me today that he seems more like
himself. It has been a week with no
activity. :d has anyone had any bad side
effects with topomax? Also does anyone
know anything about getting aid for
medical bills or help with medicine?
Thanks.

I hope that topamax will do well for him!
He should drink plenty of water to avoid
kidney stones. The other possible side
effect is trouble with getting easily over
heated. Just keep an eye out and see how
he does. Not everyone has any problem
with that....
It is great that his teachers see him more
like himself with the switch!!
