Hi John,
I'm sorry to hear that the sz. are getting hard to control. I've had 5 different types of sz. over the yrs. and no matter what I took or did including surgery it just didn't stop my sz. I later found out that often my sz. would increase at certain times of the yr. do to the amount of serotonin outside. These are called "seasonal seizures", This may be what's going on with you sometimes to much serotonin outside can cause sz. for some people in the spring and summer compared to the fall and winter. Have you tried taking vitamin B12 as I mentioned before? Also ask your Dr. to do a DNA test on you to find the correct sz. med for you with the least side effect. This is what I had done and I found out I was drug resistant to all sz. meds out on the market now and I've tried over 10 different meds. Give the B12 a try and see if that helps. I wish you the best of luck and May God Bless You!

Sue
