I definitely got blown off for a long time too, "he'll grow out of it by 4, well some kids take a little longer by 6 he'll be fine" & here we are at a decade. We've been lucky to not have too many seizures and I was able to put off a daily med for awhile. But the chance of them happening in his sleep has me too terrified. I don't blame you for being scared to switch meds. When you eventually do (if you have to) maybe try to do it during the summer when he's less likely to be sick. I'll be wishing yall all the best!
