Lightbulb Felbatol...

has a very drastic profile. It can cause aplastic anemia. And I had a patient who almost died from it. (years ago)

For a while it was taken off the market, but it has returned.

You can read about it here:

When a person continues to have seizures, when drugs don't seem to work, one should consider food allergy.

The most common, with links to seizures is gluten intolerance.
We have a gluten forum here, and there are many others on Google. I know someone whose daughter's seizures stopped when she went gluten free. It is worth looking into, since you are in a spot between a rock and a hard place. Going gluten free is non-toxic, but does require effort.

Good luck.
