My son "has" everything but I don't know how to help

by icesherman, Oct 11, 2009 04:55PM
My son is 12 years old.  He has had petimal seizures since the minute he was born, hundredes a day.  At 2-3 years old he started getting bad headaches- migraines- he gets physically sick from.  He can be very aggressivebut the medication he is on right now he is not that aggressive.  Aggressive as a normal 12 year old I guess, but he is very depressed.  He hates that he is sick and can't do everything like everyone else and is always very depressed.  He will cry at the drop of a hat, or yell and throw things.  He started having Grand Mal seizures at the age of 5.  During one of the many hospital stays they saw an irregular heart beat and his blood pressure would get high at times. Every year the seizures get worse and more frequent.  He takes Lamictal, Topamax, Keppra, Verapimil, ativan and Midazolam when he is having an actual seizure.  Why is he not getting better?  Am I not doing something I should be?

I think this post would do better if it was asked of the Expert/Doctor forum  heres my opinion the meds could be the cause, so take him to a Doctor ,maybe a differant one than the prescribing Doctor and ask about this mix also the dosage ...It souns like a pretty potent amount to me. As Is aid you can always post this on the Expert site ..
