Is The Older Med Sodium Valproate Still Used For Epilepsy?
I just asked if my doc would consider it and she said no.
Advice Please! Have You Ever Reduced Medication Against The Advice Of Your Doctors?
Since January my 10yo had been taking clobazam, keppra, lacosamide, & valproate. In February her neurologist started her on lamotrigine to replace the valproate after she gained 50% of her original weight, constantly thought about food and became unmotivated and inactive. Also I worried about her developing diabetes on top of the epilepsy. I kept pestering them about reducing her meds but nothing was done about it because for the 1st time her EEGs were looking good.

I am on Sodium Valproate, alongside Keppra, Topiramate, Pregabalin, and Vitamin D3 with Folate(as my body gets stripped of both). For rescue meds I either get oral Clobazam, or Diazepam.
