Brief Answer: Please get serum valproic aid level Detailed Answer: Hello Thanks for choosing wwwhealthcaremagic.com I am sorry to learn about your problem and understand what you are going through. I think the reason for recurrence of seizures could be reduction of serum level due to many reasons. I would order for a serum level of valproic acid from a good lab. Second the fact you felt better after alcohol , you could be having anxiety disorder. To confirm, download Hamilton's Anxiety Rating Scale and evaluate yourself. The dream could be a symptom of anxiety disorder. Please contact when you have completed these tests. DR SAATIISH JHUNTRRAA
