Hi, i am new to this forum and i just need to ask about stopping meds, My 9 year old son started having absence siezures when he was 4, and when he was 5 he started with tonic clonic siezures, then atonic siezures. I have lost count of how many different combinations of drugs he has tried, Many of the drugs have helped one thing short term but have caused him to have increases in other siezure types! Now he is on epillim, clobazam and Stiripentol, He has very little quality of life at the moment because he is sleeping all the time and he can't concentrate for more than 2 minutes at a time, I would like to wean him off all his meds and and give his body time to adjust being without the meds, I just feel that maybe he would do better without them as the side affects of the drugs are so extreme, I will just try to keep him on a very low dose of epillim and see how it goes. Has anyone else tried this? I will of course make sure that his neurologist knows of my wishes for his treatment. thanks for listening. sue
