Diastat
- Anna- Diastat is the only other medication that we use at present. We resisted using it until May of 2002, but Anna began having a type of seizure which builds in intensity like ocean waves which get stronger with each new wave, and Diastat is all that stands between us and the ER (we've nicknamed these events "Superseizures".) We give Anna a 5 mg. dose shortly (5-10 minutes) after the seizure starts and a second one (rarely) 5-10 minutes or so after the first dose, if necessary.
