[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 176705, member: 1498"] I never quite understood why, with the subclinical epilepsy diagnosis, you trialed an antidepressant and a stimulant but not a anticonvulsant. For starts, anticonvulsants are tested on and approved for children his age. There is information about how they work, the side effects and dosage. None of that is true for antidepressants and stims. Plus, both antidepressants and stims carry warnings that they should be given cautiously to people with seizure disoders. And finally, the three of the four mood stabilizers are anticonvulsants. Why wouldn't one of them be a first choice? For that matter, I don't understand how partial seizure activity has been ruled out. So much of what you describe could be partial seizures. I think there's a good chance it isn't subclinical epilepsy and you are seeing seizure activity but don't recognize it as such. [/QUOTE]
