Hi Concernedmom,

AED's (seizure med) can play a big part of how much energy a person has. Years ago when I was on Depakene (valproic acid) I had so much energy I found it hard to sit still.
AED's can also make a person very moody along with the area of the brain that's triggering the sz. As Shez mentioned if a person has temporal lobe epilepsy they can be moody and very emotional. This can also happen if the frontal lobe of the brain is effected.
If your daughter is at the age where she's going through puberty a lot of her energy can be do to hormones changing in her body. When the estrogen level gets high each month this can give a person more energy and excitment which can also trigger sz. but when the estrogen level is low and the progesterone level is high each month it will help calm the nerves and a person will be much more calm and have fewer sz.
Cell phones can also cause more excitment in a persons brain and sometimes trigger sz. for a person if they are "cell phone sensitive" which means using or being around others using cell phones will trigger sz.
Try putting your daughter on vitamin B12 500 mcg. this will help her with her sz. and keep her more calm. I wish you and your daughter only the best and May God Bless the both of You!

Sue
