Hi doctor, My sister has cerebral palsy with grand mal seizures. She is 28 years and weighs about 25 kg. Today she had a seizure attack for about 7 times that would last for almost a minute per attack. Our neurologists are out of town so we just needed an opinion on the following interventions we did. In the morning we gave her Lioresal 10 mg, Tegretol 200 mg, and Rivotril 2 mg. In the afternoon Diazepam valium 0.5 ml. Whether we should add more for tonight? She still had two minor seizures for a few seconds. She was not able to sleep overnight last night until today.
Hello. I would recommend taking Tegretol 200 mg (Carbamazepine) three times daily and Clonazepam 2 mg two times daily. In case of repeated seizures, Diazepam should be administered 0.5 ml during each seizure. If seizures become frequent despite therapy, I would recommend bringing her to the ER, because the situation may become life-threatening. I hope this helps.
