Adolescent Epilepsy

Posted By Susie on August 21, 1998 at 13:20:49:







My 15 year old son had his first seizure in June of this year.  An EEG
indicated that he has epilepsy, and his neurologist called it adolescent epilepsy.
He indicated that after 3 0r 4 years on medication our son might no
longer need medication.
I have found great information about epilepsy in general but I have
found nothing on adolescent epilepsy.  What can you tell me?  Is it
possible that our son's rapid growth over the last year caused this
condition?  
Because my son was allergic to Dilantin, he is now on Carbotrol 300 Mg
3 times a day.  We went up to three pills because he had another seizure
two weeks ago.  
Where are clinics that specialize in adolescent epilepsy?
Any information will be appreciated.
