Panayiotopolous Syndrome/Benign Occipital Epilepsy
Thu, 04/13/2006 - 16:40Topic: Parents & Caregivers
My 5 year old was recently diagnosed with Panayiotopolous Syndrom/Benign Occipital Epilepsy. For anyone else with the same diagnosis, have your seizures ever appeared during the day? My daughter's have only surfaced during the night and my doctor has suggested they may not appear during the day.
Also what meds, if any? Thanks

Our daugther is on a homeopathic dose of Topomax (15mg sprinkle caplet). Our doc said had our daugther's seizure been during the day, he would have done more with her meds. Good luck with your child.
