NTM - I would say that she should keep up with the drinking of water; approximately a couple of litres a day. I am not much help on this as I have had no real experience in detoxification as I am a community pharmacist and have never worked in a hospital. I really don't know what is causing the seizures (ie. the physiologic mechanisms involved), so rather than guessing at what to do, i had better suggest that the treatment be handled by a physician.

I am sorry that I cannot be of more help. The best that I can suggest is to monitor the situation and keep a log of any observations (eg. time of seizures and the circumstances and activities she is doing at the time of the seizures). the more information that you can provide the doctor with the better he/she can tailor the treatment. Also, maybe you can also log what she is doing (eg what she has eaten, any activities she is currently involved in) when the confusion is at it's worst.

Again, I am sorry that I have no more advise than just be as supportive as you have been. - Cam
