question: Hi my son got fits when he was 7 years old. Though the fits were brought under control , as we continued to experience difficulty with school work, his medication was changed and we later found out that he has been continuously having sub clinical seizures right throughout. He is 11 years old now. His medication has been changed to include frisium 5 mg in the night. The most recent EEG reveals that his seizures have cleared out. However, we noticed that he is having more trouble with his school work, falling asleep on his work, he has suddenly gained so much weight that he is somewhat obese ... my son s psychiatrist put him on Nexito 5mg. His dosage is to be increased to 10mg in three weeks. Will this drug help my son? What does it do? What are the side effects? I am really concerned. Please help me. Thank you.
