we will start her on Lamictal
we have a whole list of rules start her on very low dose and raise the dose slowly over 4 weeks
then we keep giving it to her for 8 months and have her evaluated.
we ended up walking around the city and finding a rose garden it was fantastic
I can't wait to get a look a the pictures we took :)
Tomorrow we start he medication.

Good luck with the meds! Cowboy has been on Lamictal for YEARS. Out of all the various seizure meds he tried, Lamitcal worked the best. We're actually on the weaning off phase to see how things go.
Since ya'll are just venturing into the seizure meds world, the main thing to keep in mind is that the first week or so are rough on them AND you. They may act a little short tempered, may be tired, may not really understand what is going on with their mind and/or body, you just need to give them some leeway and decide if this is behavior you're used to or if it's something possible caused by the meds. Plenty of love and understanding by everyone in the family was crucial for us as well.
Taylor has been on lamictal for many years and so has nate. It is one of the drugs with the least side effects and works well for seizures. Good luck with it, I hope that it works well for her.
