have seizures, I am finding out more and more that some med's are used for

different reasons then their intent with good results! Since Trileptal is an

antiseizure med, I had my doubts, but the psych said it is also used for

aggression and for calming the child down....it did work until we added the

thyroid med's, so we had to up it a bit, a little better, but not great right

now.

Also, Clonidine, a blood pressure med, is also used for ADHD....go figure,

right?
