[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would follow the recommendations of the neurologist. For context, I have a DS with epilepsy. He’s had multiple inpatient EEGs of 24-72 hours that have shown nothing abnormal. It’s not unusual for the EEGs to not really be definitive. The fact that your EEG showed abnormality and your neuro is recommending meds would be enough for me to go along with the recommendations for now. He’s still on 2 daily anti seizure meds. Hasn’t had a seizure in over a year. Our neuro doesn’t want to start weaning off them until he’s been seizure free for longer. That said, if you’re feeling unsure, get a 2nd opinion. It helps to build confidence in your doctor’s recommendations. We’ve gotten 2nd and 3rd opinions at various junctures in this journey. The recommendations have generally been identical amongst docs.[/quote] An EEG is a snapshot. Not unusual for it to not show seizure activity.[/quote]
