Hello
just wanted to let everyone know that we are still dealing with shane and his gran mal seizures(since oct 05) but after his stay in cincinnati, oh at children's med. It seems we are getting somewhere. We just added topomax to his meds and the dr is weaning him off the depokane. He is still on keppra and his preschool teachers told me today that he seems more like himself. It has been a week with no activity. :d has anyone had any bad side effects with topomax? Also does anyone know anything about getting aid for medical bills or help with medicine? Thanks.

I hope that topamax will do well for him! He should drink plenty of water to avoid kidney stones. The other possible side effect is trouble with getting easily over heated. Just keep an eye out and see how he does. Not everyone has any problem with that....

It is great that his teachers see him more like himself with the switch!!
