Great to see you have found us!
Raigne,
I spoke to you earlier in the welcome forum. Sad to here that you are having difficult with your situation. I have had epilepsy since I was 10, ecept that I was lucky after I had a surgery where I have been seizure free. I went for around 45 years having seizures.
When you start a new medication, it may take awhile before you have enought in your system to take effect. Some medicine work with some people and not so good with others. I myself Keppra is one I am taking where it helping me, I choose to keep taking it because I was controlled but just didn't want to take a chance.
Here are somethings I would like you to check out. My advice to you is have your Dr. refer you to see a Epileptologist (Dr. specializing in Epilepsy) and go to a Epilepsy Center. These places are found at large hospitals or university hospitals. These Drs. will do a series of tests on you and this will help the them fine exactly what's going on with your situtation. One other thing to do is taking vitamin B12 1000 mcg. once a day for adult. Afford being around strong flashing lights like at theater, you could wear sunglasses. Also at the theater just make sure you turn your head and shut your eyes during flashing back grounds.
Please keep us up to date on your situation. Again welcome, looking forward to seeing you around. My thoughts and prayers are with you. 
Darlene
