lamictal  has side effects that are very scary, so the Doctors have to start you on a low dose,because it can cause a deadly rash.

my son took  zonisimade and it didn't do anything for his Seizures.Every person is different . it takes time to see what will work for every person.

still have not found the right medicines to stop my son Seizures.

How long have you had seizures?How long have you been taking lamictal?

I am so sorry,I understand where you are coming from.My 11year old son has been on medicines and have tried may different one ,and at times 4 to 5 seizure medicines.And still has seizures.He also had the VNS put in on June this year. And has been turned up about 5 times so far and still has seizures even thou he is still on medicines to.With the VNS they say it can take time to work and the longer you have it in the better chance you are to see things get better with your seizures.  You are not alone.


Talk to your Doctor about the VNS and see if it is something that would and may help you some.
There is info to read about it if you have not yet on the internet Vagus Nerve Stimulation | epilepsy.com

God bless you and your family
