Experiences with weaning

Sun, 01/31/2016 - 04:02

We started weaning my sons Zonegran tonight. He's been on 100mg for almost 4yrs + 3000mg/day of Keppra.

We are decreasing by 25mg a week to off. Does anyone have experience with this? What could I expect good or bad?

How long before the old dose is out of his system?

 

His appointment was a tad rushed the other day so all the questions came to me after that fact.

Anything is appreciated
