We lowered John's Lamictal doseage again just over 2 weeks ago. He's now at 100mg/day. We never saw any increase in seizures from the decrease. If anything, he is again slightly better. He continues to do quite well, and I think his average daily seizure count is now down around 10, which is a significant improvement. He is still learning new things at his own sweet pace. And, he's taken a real interest in books lately.
Yoshie has gotten his therapy sessions up to 32 minutes. I never thought John would be able to sit still that long.
John's big issue now is his extreme hyperactivity. We're not too worried about it yet, as I believe it is a consequence of the drug wean and will probably diminish with time. Right now, it is truly unbelievable just how much energy he has. He is wearing his parents out!
We'll leave the drug level as is at least until his next appt. on June 15. He's been on this drug for a long time now, and we still have no idea if it's doing anything for him.
