Guest guest Posted August 11, 2003 Report Share Posted August 11, 2003 Our daughter is 2 1/2, she has LGS, and is currently taking depakote & Topamax. (we are about to start the diet) THe problem we are having is she is biting everyone. She started this at 18 mos, but at that age we figured it was a " stage " and she would grow out of it. Well that hasn't happened. It wasn't so bad for a while but just recently she has started again. She is a big kisser, loves to blow kisses and is always kissing everyone, but sometimes she bites. Especially my husband and our other child who is only 6 mos old. If we go to a play group I have to stay right on top of her because she is so quick, one minute you think she is going to kiss and then she bites. Its never on the face or anything like that, but always on the hands, fingers, arms & shoulders. At first we thought it was a jealousy thing with the baby, but it isn't just the baby that she bites. Has anyone run into this with LGS? She first started biting when we started klonopin, but she hasn't been on that for over 2 mos. I am starting to wonder if it could be the topamax, or maybe just the " attention getting behavior " that I have heard comes along with LGS??? Any discipline advice? She is developmentally delayed and nothing seems to work. Its like she completely forgets what she did wrong after 1 minute. I will take any ideas.

Guest guest Posted August 11, 2003 Report Share Posted August 11, 2003 That is not the first time I have heard that. We have tried (probably not hard enough). Trust me she is not the devil but most of the time she thinks it is funny. Unfortunately for her the baby is teething and soon enough he will get his revenge.
