hi i am currently having issues with my doctors and medication my 7 yr old daughter has been placed on zaronton and i am finding that the dose she is on i quite high for a child of her age and weight she is on 7.5 mg at night and on 6mg in the morning i find that the medication causes alot of problems ranging from what looks like bi polar episodes (extreme mood swings) sometimes exteme wakefulness or some times the exact opposite she does not sleep through the night and it does not seem to be helping with all of the seizures she has been on this medication for 3 years now and the doctors have not performed another eeg and i am begining to get concerned because it seems as though everytime i mention a concern to the doctor he shrugs it off. when first diagnosed hailey was having 40 or more absance seizures daily now they are very sparatic and hard to catch but somehow know they are still there she is not always focused on the things she should be and is extremely forgetful some one please give me some imput if they think they can help with getting these things fixed
i am desparate and really dont know much about the disorder seeing as the doctors throw this problem on me and refuse to help break down exactly the type and sevarity of my daughters condion

worriedmom2 Sure! Any ideas? We are experimenting with a soda before school to see if caffiene (not a lot) will give him enough kick to keep him awake in school. I figure at this stage anything is worth a shot.
