So far so good. She has only been on it two and 1/2 days but I can see an improvement with her sleep. I wish I could see her brain waves now! But until they come out with take home EEG machines that are easy to attach and use, that ain't gonna happen.
Each day I am becoming more optimistic about the Lamictal. Before she would often wake up or come close to waking up in the middle of the night. I would assume that this would lead to a non-restful sleep, hence after so many days triggering seizures. Oh my, did we jut finally figure out a trigger for her? Hmmm.....anyway that is my theory. So anyway since starting the Lamictal she is not opening her eyes in her sleep much at all. Maybe once or twice the entire night (I know cause I am watching her, yes the entire night!) and before it was a good 20-30 times a night. Also she has not been sleeping with her eyelids cracked! Yay! That was enough to give my husband and myself serious heart palpitations on more than one occasion. So that has stopped. And and and(!) she has started talking a little in her sleep. Last night she yelled puppies! lol So since this is new I just have to wonder if her brain was misfiring so much that she was not able to dream. More of my non-medical theories! lol
So whatever you do-pray, light a candle, dance around a fire, send vibes, whatever, please do it for this med to work for her!
As always thank you for reading!
