My daughter is 5 years old and already had several epilepsy attacks. It seems she got his from my mother, her grandmother who also had same problems. She takes Gabapentin for a long time now, attacks subdued, but I think she has some unwanted side effects because of Gabapentin, so I would like to know if there is any substitute for gabapentin or nuerontin?
Basic rules with all anti epileptics is this each drug dosage of this kind is gradually increased until satisfying level is reached and decreased if you want to stop with the therapy. I would recommend you that, since her condition is stabilized, top perform all kinds of necessary tests, including EEG, to determine the possible need for changing the therapy. This change should be done only by a doctor.
