Generalized Tonic clonic seizure -3 years old
My son has been getting almost 2-3 seizures on an average per day, since last 6 weeks.
He was stable on clobazam for 11 months - and it stopped working.
Dr. initiated Valproic acid 12 days ago
Still he has seizures almost every day.
How long does it take to work?
Hi there,
I'm so sorry your son is going through that. I could only imagine it is trying. If the medication isn't working please keep the doctor informed. I know everytime I have had breakthrough seizures, I've kept my doctors in the look. Let them know what's going on with your son. They should be able to give you an alternative medication and monitor the seizure activity.
Keep us posted on how everything goes.
