We lowered John's Lamictal to 125mg just over a week ago now. So, he's already gone from 175mg down to 125mg in less than a month. We really haven't seen any fallout at all yet. His seizure numbers are about the same as always. And, the intensity is about the same. If anything, he might be getting a little better.
He has good days and bad days in regards to his mental clarity, but overall I think he's doing a little better these days. He is learning some new words and just seems more with it. He's had a couple of days where he seemed really clear. I wish we could figure out what we did on those days to cause that.
Yoshie is continuing to do some pretty intensive therapy with him, and maybe that is the reason he is picking up more words. We are also attending the parent coaching classes every 2 weeks and trying to exercise what we learn in those classes. Plus, just being on less medicine probably helps.
So, really there isn't a lot of news to report, which is great news in itself. We'll continue to lower the Lamictal, probably in smaller increments now. It's so easy to get over confident about this stuff, but we've learned our lessons the hard way. It really pays to be patient.
