Another try with Felbatol

Last time we tried Felbatol, John vomited after most of the doses. So, he was only on it for about 3 weeks total and we never gave it a fair trial. At that time, John was also on the keto diet so we were forced to use the pills. We're going to give it another shot, this time with the liquid, and with a slower titration.
We started it last Tuesday evening. So far, he is taking just .5ml 3 times a day (187mg/day). So far we haven't really seen anything - good or bad. The changes are subtle, so we're not sure of anything, but we think he might be slightly more hyper (just what we need. :) ) Also, his head drops might have slightly decreased in number, but we have seen him have a little longer shaking seizures each of the last couple of mornings. So, we'll just continue onward until we see improvement or side-effects. The next increase is scheduled for tomorrow.
