Hi ,
Based on the details you have episodic headache with speech arrest and twisting of face which goes with mild type of fits (Focal seizure), hence you should be on antiepileptic drugs.
Presently the above medicines which you are on for migraine prophylaxis,hence you need to consult Neurologist and discuss the same .EEG and imaging brain with contrast to be repeated to rule out structural lesion
