Confused new to all this epi

Hi mt Name is jenny, i've had many heath problems for 12 years with not much help from my Dr, i have visaul aura rocking and wobbling balance and Dr's now think possible epilepsy. i dont suffer from convulsion, but do lose consentration, studder and slurr my ords occasionaly and have attacks of fear as well that rise in my body, seems this is also aura, no head ache, except for a electric shock that starts at the bace of my scull and ends at the top of my head.
i'm waiting on MRI and EEG, should take a while for results they say.
so ive been put on temporary valium untill then, which with in 3 days has alowed me to walk with no pain as the stiffness in my legs is normaly full on. aura is still persisting but not as strong.
during the 12 years ive not had alot of help from the medical comunity , this is why i'm researching myself. valium at 2mg a night has helped dr wanted me to take 5 but it makes me feel very anxious at that leval for some reson, so i'm listening to my own body. i thinks its some type of reaction to the drug so will have to discuss this with my new wonderful doc next week.
the reson i'm wrighting you all is ?

Q: i know antileptic drugs seem to have antisiezure copacity in them, and also an anti stress component as well . and i do understand why. but
anti anxiety drugs just dont work for me, so is there a anti seizure drug that only fixes the E and not the anxiety side of it????

any names or brand names would be truly helpfull .
i dont want to be put on YET another drug which has more side effects than the illness it self . so i can be as informed as possible just incase i need these meds for life? of cause i'll take my dr's advice, but when it comes to any meds i'm very very sensitive. i will have a reaction to the mildest med and they work fast and hard on me. even asprin,
thank you so much in advance. jenny.
