Best advice is always from Drs who know the type of epilepsy we have. Ask away to ease mind with real medical advice for daughter & you too

Please be very careful with the Zonizamide because it will take her most profound sleep. She will begin to have her seizures at night. This change will not happen. At first, she usually has them, but then there will be bags under her eyes. They have now studied us and found we lost this deep sleep. When I came off it it took over a year to catch up on all the dreams I had lost the deep sleep had not been happening for all the years I had been on the medicine.

@MargerBest advice comes from the people who have the condition. A licensed neurologist at the Cleveland clinic who have the most patients with epilepsy in the U.S. told me I wouldn't graduate HS due to the severity, I proved them wrong I'll have my degree in 2 yrs. The surgery they recommended backfired too. Nobody knows your body & its needs better than yourself. Every individual case is different even if the type of epilepsy/seizure diagnosis is the same. All cases are different. I've worked in multiple medical fields and at multiple post-secondary Schools and more plus experience as a patient

make sure she doesn't miss any doses. make sure she is eating properly,right amount. I take 500mg of it per day. It's important to pay attention to dosage levels too

Thank you we have a doctors appointment tomorrow.
