my son has recently(since thanksgiving )started having seizures. he has tonic-clonic, absent, myclonic and atonic seizures. last monday he had three tonic-clonic seizures and the last one we had to take him to the emergency room because he would not come out of it. this one lasted 2 hours before they could get him out of it.since then he has myclonic seizure and atonic seizures almost every 5 minutes although yesterday they slowed way down he is still having them. we are on our second neurologist. weleft the first one some 3 months ago but they lost all of his records from the first place(and tests)he is on dilantin total of 150mg and depakene 675 mg a day( the depakene was just increase a day and half ago from from 450 to 675) do you think the myclonic seizures will go away from the depakene increase and do you is there any specilized hospitals and researc centers in north carolina or south carolina. thank you tom
