Mom has petit & grand mal seizures from tbi (car accident in 89). dilantin, depakote & tegretol worked but w/severe side effects. neurontin worked best. recently she was dx w/pnes. is it possible this was a misdiagnosis? or was 1st dx wrong?

Need much more info: Your question is complex. It's possible that PNES is an additional diagnosis though NEURONTIN does not have a reputation for being a very robust drug used in treating significant epileptic conditions. Many agents far superior so It's a bit unusual that it should work BEST. Has she been video monitored in an epilepsy unit? GOTO www.healthtap.com/dr-saghafi to schedule time for us to CHAT LIVE.
