Elizabeth,
My daughter takes Lamictal, she has tonic/clonic seizures when she doesn't get enough sleep. The seizures she has while she is sleeping last a second or two, so the key for her is to get enough sleep and take her meds.

My 11 year old son has been on Depakote for about seven years for seizures. As he has matured his seizures have taken different forms. For the past four years he has had night time seizures, a long drawn out tonic/clonic episode about every three nights. His behaviour on the Depakote was crazy- he was always beating his head against something, always raging, and still having seizures. We got with his neuro and have now weaned him off Depakote. He is back to his own sweet self, YAY! His seizures have not increased in intensity or frequency so far. We meet with his neuro on Wed. and I am just curious about what other meds some of you might be taking that are giving relief with night time seizures. Andy is learning disabled and non verbal so he can't exlpain to us what he's going through.
Any thoughts would be appreciated!
Elizabeth
