Simple Partial Seizures: Can 13-year abort Medications? Posted: 09-21-06 12:13pm


If my 13yrold's simple partial seizures are only "deja vu" and nothing else, does it need to be treated with medication? If it gets worse or expands out to a complex seizure, I can understand medication, but I am leary of using meds for something as simple and frequent deja vu. They make occur once a day without losing consciousness or other physical symptoms. She can talk, do things with her hands and even "will" the annoying reminiscence feeling away withing 2 seconds. They are infrequent if she is well rested and well-fed. If teens outgrow this anyway, what benefit would there be to the meds? Thank you, buffyangel (a worried mom)

If there is no organic cause for epilepsy, it is treated with medications no matter the type and/or severity. Medications should inhibit seizures and make them more rare. You mustn’t abort the medical therapy for your daughter without a professional opinion from a pediatric-neurologist.
