Guest guest Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Tielyr was deemed as keto diet failure and I was basically given the option to start felbamate or depakote. So, I am looking for opinions as to which one would be better?? Thanks- I have to decide tomorrow!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Hi, We have experience with both meds. Depakote didn't work for our daughter (3 yrs old). And, it made her dopey - made her do even less than she was doing so it didn't take us long to take her off of the med. Felbital is the one she is on now. She's lost 10% of her body weight on the med. She had a honeymoon period of low seizures and no night waking for a month..However, all has returned. We (today) increased her dosage to the max. If it doesn't wipe them out, then we're taking her off that one. Good luck! ________________________________ To: polymicrogyria Sent: Tuesday, June 2, 2009 8:45:03 PM Subject: which one Tielyr was deemed as keto diet failure and I was basically given the option to start felbamate or depakote.
