My daughter is 31 and has Down Syndrome. At age 28 she had her first grand mal seizure. She had 2 grand mals in 2 years, but also developed complex partial seizures & absence seizures. Since January of this year, she has had 4 grand mals, one resulting in a fall. She continues to have the absence seizures. She currently takes 1500 mg trileptal each day & 1000 mg of keppra. I see a link between balance issues for her and the absence seizures. We see a neurologist but am thinking of getting a second opinion. She is having the partial & absence seizures almost daily. Am frustrated and worried that this is a way of life for her... any suggestions?
