Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Agitation can be postictal. Once her seizure are under control she will not have these agitation episodes. Zoloft will take care of her anxiety. These drugs dosage are increased gradually to avoid a side effects. Once Zoloft reach its therapeutic level your daughter will get relief from anxiety symptoms.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
