Can you please tell me why your children were prescribed Trileptal? My son who is going for ADHD/Behavior evaluation in October is currently on Trileptal as an anit-seizure med for his seizure disorder. I was just wondering if you were told it was due to incomplete signals in the brain or whatnot. I'm really just trying to prove that my son's seizures and his behavior are related so that he can be properly diagnosed and explain "what" seizure disorder he has.
Thank you.
My son was prescribed Trileptal as a mood stabilizer. The psychiatrist said that it is often prescribed "off label" for ODD. My son is 10 and it is possible to increase the dose up to 1200 mg. per day. He is now on 600 per day.Just got back from seeing the doc and he has added 50 mg. of Seroquel to the Trileptal dose due to continued behavior problems. Has anyone had their child on both of these meds or two "mood stabilizers" at the same time?
My son is currently on 300 mg. of Trileptal in the am and pm., and 100mg. of Seroquel in the evening. He is only 67 pounds, so the extra weight would not hurt him. I don't really want to keep him on the Seroquel for too long, but hope that we will be able to stay with a higher dose of Trileptal with the Dexedrine.Yes, My Daughter who is 12 now. Was on both trileptal and seroquel. It was a disaster. She gain 50 Lbs right off, which made her more depressed. She was taking triletal 3oo mg twice a day, once in the moring and once at night. She was taking 25mg of seroquel 2 times a day 2 pills in the moring and 2 at night, which made it 100mgs a day. The two at night were to make her sleep well it did every night at a 7:30 I would give them to her and at 8:00 she would be passed out completely. I was so concerned with her I took her to a Specialist andhe took her off of all her meds gradually. She went all summer without any and was a changed child. I have recently started her Concerta 54 mg back since school started, and is currently doing alright. I wish you well with this medicine but really research it good. It is not very good for children. They will gain alot of weight.
