Benign Rolandic Epilepsy
My son (6) was diagnosed with BRE in August. After 3 awful months on Keppra, he is now taking Trileptal. He had 2 seizures while asleep and one during the day. Are there any other families dealing with this condition? Did your kids also have a daytime seizure? Any recommendations for doctors (we have Anthem blue Cross), have you tried out CBD oil, acupuncture etc? Any advice is very much appreciated.

Hi there
My daughter has absence seizures — diagnosed at 5; she’s now 11. Keppra is the drug of choice for kids with epilepsy though I’m not sure if it is the top choice for this kind (I’m not familiar w/this form). She sees Dr. Kuperman at Children’s Hospital. She started out on Keppra, then Depakote and is now on Lamictal. She does have a few break thru seizures but is mostly controlled. Best of luck to you and your family.
