Re: [epilepsy] Re: Seizures and Medications

Tammy- Megans' mom,

Why is Megan not on depakote any more? What sz does she have.
I forgot. Sorry.

I think I would ask her Dr.. she may need a combination.

I take 3 100 gr Dilantin on Mon, Wed and Fri and 4 the other
days because taking that much Dilantin every day of the week
was too much for me. I also take 4 - 30 gr phenabarb every
day. I just worked with my Dr.
