What causes Trileptal levels to remain low
by worried570, Sep 30, 2009 06:18PM
my granddaughter was born with seizures she has been in and out of the hospital from birth shes only five months old. The prior hospitalization before this one they placed her on trileptal, along with phenabarbital, she was experiencing some of the negative side effects (edema) and had several bad seizures causing her latest hospitalization, she has been in the hospital for 5 weeks now no seizures but they refuse to release her cause her trileptal level will not get above 2 (normal range is 10-35) but she has been at this level now for 5 weeks and no seizure activity do you think it's the combo of her meds?

The doctor should access a physicians only database to see if any other medication she is taking can lower the blood level of the Trileptal. If there is a problem in this regard there are many other options as regards anti-convulsants but only a neurologist could decide what the appropriate action is to take at this point.
