I have been recommended this particular medication. Also being recommended here in place of this med is keppra or tegetrol but I am getting a report and I will see what is said. I read another med and that has severe side effects and I did not like that one. I have received severe side effects on the last two meds and I am wary. I have found one that works for me, but that is not a continual daily med.
This thread sounds positive about it - 6 other meds either failed or worked for a short period of time and then stopped working and I have been moved onto others. I has rash from one.

We have not tried this exact medicine but Hayden has been on other medicines in the same family like klonapin and Tranxene. The Tranxene seems to work pretty well for him. We had to add it to our other medicines of Keppra and Depakote to help in controling his drop seizures. The only bad side effect we had at first was him being tired all the time but that went away within the first week or two. Otherwise it seems to be a good class of medicines to work with.
Take care,
Michelle
