[|Human|] Dear Doctor, my daughter is suffering from epilepsy for last eight years. Though the frequency of seizures are very less sometimes it did not occur for two years however, when she is in stress or have sleeping disorder, it occurs. She is taking lametac DT 50 once in the morning and two in the evening. For some time I felt some behavioural changes like missing and unresponsive. Is this the side effects of medicine or otherwise. Pl. advise. Thanks Arvind 0000
[|AI|]  Hi, welcome to our site. I am Chat Doctor, MD. Read your query. That is a very significant question and I appreciate your problem. I will try my best to answer your everywhere are two things you need to understand.1. The medicines are weight based. That is the dose is weight adjusted. As the child grows older and gains weight, the dose has to be adjusted. Sometimes, the medicine has to be changed.2. The patient should avoid stressful conditions. Stress and lack of sleep are known triggers in seizure patients and should be actively avoided. As for the behavioral changes, they need to be assessed by an EEG. A video EEG is a better option. They may be a manifestation of -a. The seizures b. post seizure status. Sometimes medicines have the effects too. I hope this helps you.
