Signs of Ataxia

Things are going well, however, once again Brady has become ataxic. His dose of Zonisamide was increased on the night of January 26th and he showed no signs of unsteadiness or wobbliness at all for the first several days of being on the increased dose. Becoming uncoordinated and being dubbed 'our little drunk sailor' once again began approximately on February 2nd. I am hoping that as before once his body adjusts to the increase in medication he will return to normal and will have his coordination back and be steady on his feet. I will hold off on calling Dr. Katherman a while longer and give him more time to see if the adjustment period makes a difference for him. When he first started on Zonisamide in December the adjustment period took about two weeks and after that all signs of ataxia had disappeared. I'm sure his body has to adjust to having more of the drug in his system. I believe that this will resolve itself as before and the silver lining is that there have not been anymore seizures. Thank God!
