[Dailydrool] Question about Potassium Bromide for seizures

[Karen]

Tucker was diagnosed with a seizure disorder today by the Neurologist.  We originally went to for assessment of the cervical and lumbar area where he is having pain.  While being examined he had a focal seizure, which now really explains a lot of the symptoms I have been seeing over the past couple of months.  He was placed on Potassium Bromide.  I am wondering if any other droolers are on this med and if so, how long before you started seeing any improvement?  He is going to be on a loading dose of 2,260 mg for 5 days, then a maintenance dose of 791 mg.   I have read the side effects and Neurologist felt this was the safest med to try first.  Any help would be appreciated.  We really don't have a need for drool as Momma is feeling a whole lot better now that we have a diagnosis.  We do send drool to all in need.

Drool to all the sick houndies and their slaves,
