Keppra was a good drug for John. It stopped his daily tonic-clonic seizures the first day we gave it to him. But, we also suspected all along that it added to his already out of control hyperactivity. So, we have been lowering his Keppra while adding Banzel. As of 3 days ago, he is completely off the Keppra. We have increased his Banzel to 1000mg/day. He's still having the same number of small daily seizures (~20 a day). But we also think his overall mood has improved and we also feel like he is understanding more. So, I'd say that was a success. It's also nice to have him back on monotherapy.
Today is also John's last day of summer school. Kind of too bad, as I think he really enjoyed it.
