Neurologist 's  Response
If you have not seen a neurologist or epileptologist then, I suggest you make an appointment with someone in your area to review your case, your medications, and try and figure out why you're continuing to have episodes. There are variety of reasons why epilepsy cannot be controlled such as wrong type of medications, inadqueate dose of medications, interference by other medications being taken, less than optimal compliance in taking medications by patients, other lifestyle hazards and risks by patients which can lead to seizures, diagnosis of type of seizure being treated is inaccurate or wrong.

If you would like to send me more specific information in a private forum I would happy to help you: You can write to me at: bit.ly/drdariushsaghafi

I am a neurologist and would be happy to take a look at things for you to make some suggestions as to how you might get better control over your situation.
