So am I supposed to stil go on the assumption he has Epilepsy?
Fri, 08/31/2007 - 18:37Topic: Parents & Caregivers
Seeing as how the EEG wasn't conclusive because of my sons movements, and the only reason the neuro gave medicine is because of what I said, is that reason enough to think my son has Epilepsy?

MRI was done and came back fine. I guess I will just have to wait to see what happens. Thanks for the help.
Son takes Trileptal 300 mgs for partial seizures, Adderall XR 25 mg for ADHD, Fluoxetine 20 mg and Seroquel 200 mgs for Trichotillomania. www.whippettalk.com p068.ezboard.com/bpetchat

FYI: As someone who is 33 & on meds right now, and has been on a variety of meds most of my life, 90% of the tests they do on me come back inconclusive. You may want to get a second opinion. Perhaps ask for an MRI, a CAT Scan or a different type of EEG. For me it's the sleep deprived EEGs that really show anything, but then again everyone is always sorta different. Talk it though with doctors whenever you're in doubt. ~Erin/GG
