A member asked:
Could juvenile myoclonic epilepsy symptoms worsen after your first grand mal seizure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Could : Most folks with jme respond well to modest doses of depakote, but a small percentage have difficult-to-control seizures. It might seem like it gets worse after the first convulsion simply because the convulsions don't come under control.
