Ativan is much more commonly used for acute treatment of seizures due it is much faster onset of action. Diazepam is also the other benzo most commonly used.

I think they have her on the klonapin to keep her leveled out as thats what she was on before. To stop the seizures they put her on Cerebyx I believe which is really strong.

https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/cg1...pdf-4840753069 Much more important and relevant for you is patient-friendly information. Read through this. https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/cg1...is-information If it is epilepsy brought about by acute BZD withdrawal, it's still important to have a plan of what to do in place in case your wife has another seizure. For example, it might not be a bad idea to talk to your physician about whether or not it would be a good idea to have Diastat available at home should your wife have another breakthrough seizure upon discharge (it's a rectal gel administered through syringe with a dial to select the dose), especially given that your wife had such a severe seizure. Also, ask your physician/neurologist what impact her current medications will have on her EEG. While EEGs are the gold standard for diagnosis they are most effective if administered within six hours of a seizure and if someone is not an anticonvulsant or antiepileptic. Good luck. Don't take any of the things I've told you as gospel. Do your best to advocate for wife and question her medical team, albeit respectfully. Don't just smile and nod. There aren't any bad questions.

Cerebryx is the trade name for fosphenytoin, which is a different formulation of phenytoin, which is more commonly known as Dilantin. They load patients with either phenytoin or fosphenytoin to quickly get the levels up to therapeutic levels. That's standard treatment.

It's unlikely she has epilepsy, but it's not uncommon to treat carefully given that she had multiple severe seizures from med withdrawal. It's just FYI.

Been following this thread and waiting for updates to see how she is progressing. I’m glad to see she seems to be doing well and looks like she’s expected to make a full recovery. I will continue to send good thoughts your way hog with the hope that your wife continues to get better and makes it home soon.
