flying with not much of a net

[Guest guest]

Hi:

I'm a mother of a six year old little girl who just started the diet.

We started on 12/10 and before the diet she was on Zonegran,

Lamictal-Chewable Kepra. First night in hospital was awful, but then she

started to fly! Dr. dropped her Zonegran under the thinking it was the right

thing. All hell has broken loose, she was toxic on something. To regain

control, we upped Zonegran, and dropped the Lamictal -fast. Hell continued

for six days, threw Christmass, in that she was having drops/twitches/jerks,

zoning in and out. Ended up giving her Atavan yesterday to stop things, and

had a peacefull night, as far as we know. Today, life is better. She is

still whiney (not normal behavior for her), and has only had a couple of

twitches. She may have been toxic on Lamictal. The other thing we changed

back was that in the hospital, the Dr's, put her on a nonchewable Lamictal.

Under the theory that it can't get much worse, and with their permission we

switched back to chewable. Anyway, we're out here in PA, flying and trying.

Dr. wanted to drop the diet by Monday if nothing happened. Our feeling was

give it three months. We'll see how tonight goes. You can reach me at
