Can Carnitine increase seizures?
I believe if you start your child on too high a dose, or increase too quickly, then YES, more seizures can occur (ask Emma on that one!). For some, introduction of carnitine can drop blood ketones enough to trigger seizures. This is why I feel it is important to be checking these levels while initiating carnitine and after each increase in carnitine dose. Keep good records of ketone readings and glucose readings (if you take them).
