Hi. If you would like, you can ask your friend to publish her question to our public forums. Those are free, but unfortunately there is no guarantee that the question will be answered right away.
From what you've said here. Let me try and give you some basic information. That you can transmit to your friend.
The management of seizures through medication can be quite tricky. Medical science still doesn't know a single one shot cure-all for the problem since there are SO MANY different causes.
When it comes to putting someone on a medication regime for
epilepsy (
seizure disorder), different medications will have different effects and it takes time (and quite alot of patience on the patient and families part) to get the right system down.
The other thing is that when you change the medications, the older drugs will start getting washed out of the body while the newer drugs take time to build up to their therapeutic levels. So that might be a cause for the new cluster of seizures. It also may be that these new medications are just not working for the patient as well.
I would recommend that your friend call back the
Neurologist treating her Daughter and update her on the rebounding seizures. They can see if they want to stay the course for a bit longer and let the new drugs settle in. Or they can change the meds again.
I hope that made some sense. Hope things get better for your friends daughter. Take Care and Thanks for coming to HealthCareMagic.com
