Suzan Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 My dd has been on depakote and tranxene for over a year for her seizures. Could this be supressing her PANDAS symptoms, if she has PANDAS? I will discuss with her neurologist but he is thinking of taking her off if we get a clear EEG. Thanks! Susan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lacy Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Not sure that this helps, but our DD has been placed on Lamictal by her psychiatrist which is supposed to be for seizures but also helps bi-polar patients. Personally I don't believe our DD needed to be on it as it only seems to vaguely mask her symptoms and I don't believe she's bi-polar. We think the antibiotics are working much better and plan to ask about weaning her off the Lamictal. Isn't it funny (not ha ha) what some treating specialists can convince us to try?

peglem Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Actually, my daughter is doing quite well on lamictal. It was originally prescribed for suspected seizures and migraine's, but we find that it has the nifty SE of helping with mood stabilization.
