We lowered the Meds

We lowered to meds (Lamictal) to half, per okay from his neurologist, as she said some of the things we were seeing were bad side effects, and any behavioral side effect we should lower or change the meds. We cut them in half, and it has been about a week. We are going to give it another week, and see how that seems, but I think I am leaning towards a time off meds before trying a different one. The neurologist say's that is risky as he has such an abnormal EEG that the likely hood of him having a seizure is high, but, I have never seen him have one outside of the stimulation of putting his eyes and head up to a old fashioned TV screen, so I think he's safe to be off of them for a few months. I feel like I see some improvement since coming off the meds, but Jason doesn't, and his teachers don't really either. He's still super impulsive and screams and cries a lot. Yesterday he flipped his desk over at school. :-( He's not going to be allowed to stay in a class like he's in with that kind of behavior.

I should probably start the homeopothy again...... probably. I'm not sure I see a huge difference between the homeopothy and now. He still has improvements in speech and interaction on a regular basis, but with day's of him going "crazy". Which if we were on the homeopothy we would just call a "healing reaction". He's made a lot of strides since getting on the meds, just like he did while on homeopothy. He's learned to swim, he's made attempts on a scooter and a bike, his speech and strings of speech and asking for what he wants is nothing short of amazing. But who's to say it's the meds, the homeopothy..... or just growing up? I'm thinking it's probably just growing up.

I will update if we go completely off the meds.

Love,
