What Kind Of Seizure Is It When Right Feet Starts Pulling And Travel Up To Arm And Remain Conscious Throughout?

I was wondering what type of seizures i have. My neuro has never told me. It starts pulling in my right foot then travels up my right arm. I am confused and scared about the way my arm and foot feel. I am conscious the whole time. It lasts anywhere from 5-7 min. What are they called.
Also I have taken so many seizure meds and cannot stop breakthrough seizures. I have been on generic Keppra, Lamictal, carbatro, Oxitol, Lyrica, and cant remember the others. I would recognize them if I saw them. What do you think about Klonopin?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I can understand your problem, this could not be seizure but more it seems panic attack and the episode is entirely depends upon the functional condition, if you can well control your anxiety depression stress then this can be best avoided, the Clonopin is mainly given for panic episode or to control the functional seizures, take care and try to control your self you will be fine soon bye.
