Amanda,
My son has epilepsy, and he is currently taking 775 mg of Depakote a day. He has breakthrough seizures about every two weeks, and they are also in his sleep. They have never lasted more than 3 minutes, but yes, they are very very scary! My son has complex partial seizures, and has had one petit mal about two weeks ago.
He just had a 24 hour EEG which showed no under-lying seizure disorder in his sleep, but he seems to have a breakthrough seizure every 14 days. My son is 8, and was diagnosed in April with epilepsy and a brain tumor. Best of luck to you! Would love to talk more!
Thank you,
Susan

Hi all,
Just wondering if any of you have had a " breakthrough" seizure. My daughter had one on Saturday that sent her to the ER. Now they have her on her regular meds (Tegretol) 1tsp 2x a day and then a 1/2 tsp around 1400 (2pm). It was a grand mal seizure in her sleep. I HATE those, they scare me so bad. If any of you have had these I would love to know. Thank you
Amanda
