Hi - I put my 11 year old

Hi - I put my 11 year old daughter on CBD oil from Charlotte's Web in Colorado. It is a special crop with little THC made for children with seizures. The stuff you get at your local dispensary is inconsistent. I started her off with Kepra to no improvement and took her off Kepra and onto CBD oil. I haven't really seen any improvement and it's been 5 months now. My daughter has 2-3 noticeable absent seizures per day but I've heard the CBD oil helps with grand mal.
Oh, I'm on Lamictal and I

Oh, I'm on Lamictal and I haven't able to mix the two without getting so dizzy and nauseated... it's just awful. It might be the same for her. Also, if she's not speaking at 4, has she seen an SLP? That's a very late delay... If she doesn't, go get her assessed ASAP.
cbd has some drug interaction

cbd has some drug interaction issues with some drugs (ones the body uses certain CYP enzymes to breakdown, similar to grapefruit juice drug interaction issues only maybe not the same subclasses of enzymes), onfi is one of those, lamotrigine might be one. make sure your child’s specialists know she’s also taking cbd.https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/26114620/
