[QUOTE="Lothlorien, post: 12857, member: 1024"] Missy hasn't had a seizure since the summer, but she has cycled. Missy's seizures were generally provoked when she was sick, at least the visual ones were. She always had this look on her face and her eyes before it's happened. There has been two times since she's been on the Trileptal that I have seen the look, but no visual seizures. She was mellow. She'll go a week or two and just be a perfectly normal kid, (with and attitude) and then all of a sudden, she's obnoxious, loud, non-stop verbalization, sudden urges to run through the house screaming at the top of her lungs and oppositional and defiant. The oppositional and defiance hasn't been a front runner like it used to be, but is rearing it's ugly head lately. I took her skating today. She can't skate so I took her for lessons. After only five minutes, she got frustrated and started crying. I could tell that if this went any further, a rage would ensue. I could feel it brewing. I was trying to console her and encourage her at the same time and then I looked at the intructor with this pleading look and she came over and gave me some suggestions. Ten minutes later, she was fine, but she's been on the obnoxious, running, crazy cycle this past week. At any rate, I do have a follow up with the neuro on Monday. I'll let her know what I think, but I still need to go through the motions of finding a p-doctor, which is a PIA! I've been putting it off. I'm kinda glad I've put it off, since I thought and I'm sure the initial diagnosis would have been ADD or the like and the medications would have been the wrong ones if I had gone the medication route. I think the neuro is going to up her Trileptal this visit. Maybe that will help. [/QUOTE]
