Oxcarbazepine Day 1

Aspynne took two half doses of her medication today. She took it fine....didn't seem to mind the taste at all, which is good.

She didn't take a morning nap despite how tired she was. Not sure if it was due to the morning medication or just because of her crazy schedule the past few days.

Nonetheless, she did crash around 1pm today, and slept over 4 hours! (Drowsiness is normal in the beginning, so I'm not surprised by this one).

She woke up around 5:30pm tonight, ate well, and then proceeded to play while we waited for Addyson to get home from gymnastics.

By the time we all sat down to dinner at 8pm, Aspynne was D.O.N.E. She was very cranky, seemed mad and very agitated at everything. None of us could do anything to soothe her. She even refused a bite of chocolate cake!

I am so worried that this is what we have to look forward to on these meds. I am going to chalk today up to a crazy past few days, and no morning nap....but I sincerely hope that these are not side effects that are showing up from only two half doses. I am so scared that I am going to lose the most precious little personality I've ever known.

I have prayed over and over again today that she'll be back to my little Aspynne tomorrow.
